Hello everyone,

i have a problem on opening an inkscape project after i changed the % blur on about 50 objects at the same time.
Now when i open it, it doesn't show nothing on the screen and seems freezed..

Is there anything i can do about it? I have a copy of the project but it's reeeally old.

First, I would make a backup copy of the document, using your operating system.

The I'd open the document in a text/unix editor (e.g.Textpad) and edit the blur filters in the <defs>, by adding a "x" after the filter id, for each blur filter...

e.g id="filter3922" becomes id="filter3922x"


(Using the find/search feature in the text editor to find each blur def should not take too long, if there are only about fifty.)

This should cause inkscape to NOT find the blurs, and hopefully open the document.

After the document is open in Inkscape, I'd find the formerly blurred objects visually and remove the filter from them and clean the document. (Or, if removing all the filters is not a big problem, I'd select all and use Menu: FIlters>Remove filters.)

Maybe that means everything is blurred to an unrecognizable dust, and, the rendering is extremely logging.
After opening, I would try changing the display mode to no filters (Ctrl+5 one or two times on the numpad), and remove unnecessary filtering after.
