[SOLVED] Inkscape bug after last system update

anca · 2009-03-31 19:58:39

After the last system update I started to have problems in Inkscape when I tried to adjust the color and alpha sliders to maximum values. They would only go up to 245. This means that a lot of basic colors are not achievable anymore, and the opacity cannot be set to maximum, which basically makes Inkscape unusable. After googling it for a while, I understood that there was a similar problem some time ago with Inkscape version 0.46-7 and GTK+ (here is a far better description of the bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467431), but this problem was assumably fixed in a later version (for the Red Hat package anyway). I am using at the moment Inkscape 0.46-10 and GTK2. Anyone with similar problems? Please help and thank you very much!

i found the same problem here. fixed it by adjusting the hex value to an F where it belonged still an annoying bug

I tried setting the values manually... I even tried, believe it or not, to edit the XML file! Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Could you please describe in more detail what exactly you did to fix it? I have a lot of images to finish and he deadline is getting scaringly close . Anyway, thank you so much for your feed-back!

I suggest trying to rebuild it using ABS. If it fixes the problem, file a bug report.

under the fill and stroke dialogue (ctrl-f), there is a small input box called RGBA which is just that, 1 byte for each channel. edit it at will. you will notice the sliders dont go past 245, but the value used by inkscape is the hex number there

- I'll do that and I'll let you know if it works. Thanks a lot.

- OK, that I tried, but I was under the impression that it's not working (maybe I was only checking the sliders..). I'll try as well, although it's pretty annoying to manually fix the colors for every little line and shape in the picture. Thank you for your answer!

Sorry skottish, it didn't work. I rebuilt the inkscape package with abs and I'm getting the same error as before. I really hoped I could say it worked like a charm..

I can say for a fact that this problem is not happening with Inkscape from subversion. You can always try the package from AUR.

OK, I will. Thank you. Good idea.

OK - I installed the package from AUR (the Inkscape from subversion) at everything works perfectly!! Thank you so much for your help and the promptitude of your answers.
