Hi everyone! mind if i share my experience. Even if the problem itself is hard to fix, is it possible to not open the dialogs? there's nothing the user can do about the dialog but press "OK". This is a bad user experience and these messages should go the messages panel.
steps to reproduce: 1. open inkscape. 2. write anything 3. copy that 4. open okular 5. close okular > inkscape opens dialog. > inkscape changes title of document "Memory document 1" ( or 2, 3, etc ) > sometimes, inkscape opens another window with the item copied, opens a > dialog, and, after that being closed, closes the new window. instead of okular, gimp triggers the same behaviour, but not always. okular always triggers this. it doesn't matter if clipman is installed or not. not all programs trigger this. opening and closing another instance of Inkscape doesn't trigger this. it doesn't matter if its a new document or existing. opening program, copying an object in inkscape, and then closing the program also triggers this. it doesn't matter if the files meantioned in the #37 are removed, or those particular lines deleted. what it does is that inkscape opens less dialogs. only dialog 1 or 2 dialogs ( 1 and 2 ) Dialog 1: Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. message: No paths where found. Please convert all objects you want to save into paths. Dialog 2 Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. message: No layers found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418242 Title: Incorrect call to output plugins (with persistent error message) on copy Status in Inkscape: Triaged Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in inkscape package in Arch Linux: New Status in inkscape package in Debian: Confirmed Status in Gentoo Linux: Unknown Bug description: UPDATE: After further investigation it turned out to be a problem related to the copy operation, in combination with a totally unrelated running Java program (FreeRapid). Reading some followups and other bug reports, it seems to be caused by the new clipboard management system (introduced as a fix for the bug #170185), as reported in bug #421597 So far these applications are known to randomly trigger an input/output extension (on linux): - FreeRapid Downloader - jDownloader - xfce4-clipman-plugin 1.1.3 - Netbeans - xfce4-settings-helper (Xfce 4.8) - Team Viewer (teamviewerd 10.0.36) ----- The original report was this: I'm getting this error when I try to edit a text object created previously with a font that's not available in this system. It looks like Inkscape has problems to resolve the font substitution and displays the error message in a popup window that keeps appearing again and again, leaving no other remedy than closing inkscape and reopening it. The error message is attached.
