[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
Bug #668895 fixed in the trunk, revision 10020. But the extension still doesn't work if the required Perl modules (strict, etc.) are not installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 Title: import of text file fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
I think my inclination would be to permanently remove the line check reldir=extensionstxt2svg.pl/check from both of these extensions, unless someone has a specific reason for it to be there. I have a machine with no perl installed on it, and in this case the dependence on perl is caught properly by the line command reldir=extensions interpreter=perltxt2svg.pl/command which is the normal check that essentially all .inx files have. (I deleted the line check reldir and confirmed that the extensions-log file still showed that the perl dependency was not met.) -- import of text file fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
I think my inclination would be to permanently remove the line check reldir=extensionstxt2svg.pl/check As a workaround maybe, once it is confirmed that the same line prevents the extension from being loaded not only on Windows, but on Linux too. However - if so, it means there is broken code in the extension system and just removing what calls it doesn't really address the issue imho. I'd rather see it investigated code-wise what broke that check feature (and why the result differs across platforms), have it fixed or removed in the source and after that all inx files updated correspondingly. -- import of text file fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
Commenting out that line (check tag) allows the extension to load on linux (Ubuntu 10.04). As noted above a quick search only turns up 2 extensions using that tag: /opt/inkscape-0.48/share/inkscape/extensions$ grep -RHin check . ./txt2svg.inx:15:check reldir=extensionstxt2svg.pl/check ./outline2svg.inx:15:check reldir=extensionsoutline2svg.pl/check The second extension - outline2svg - also does not load unless the check tag is commented out. Again nothing in the extension-errors log for that one either. So - there are two issues: 1. the ubuntu package needs a dependency on libsvg-perl, and 2. something is not working correctly in Inkscape's handling of the check tag. IMO this bug would be fixed by addressing #1 and a separate bug should be opened against Inkscape for #2. -- import of text file fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks to everyone for your work on this. While the upstream work is being carried out, I'll prepare a new package for Ubuntu with the check tags removed. We already have the relationship inkscape suggests libsvg-perl in Ubuntu. Unfortunately, we can't change it to inkscape recommends libsvg-perl which would automatically install libsvg-perl. This is because inkscape is in the main repository (i.e. officially supported by Canonical) but libsvg-perl is in the universe repository (i.e. community supported). -- import of text file fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape .48. I have Perl installed, but no .txt file extension available as an import. The workaround is to delete the following line from the file txt2svg.inx: check reldir=extensionstxt2svg.pl/check With the new inx file the .txt extension appears just below the sk1 extension. When I now try to load a .txt file I get the message: Can't locate SVG.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at txt2svg.pl line 6. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at txt2svg.pl line 6.

(Yes, I removed the user extensions directory before testing, and checked the shared extensions directory for duplicate file types). Possibly the check reldir=…/check fails on Windows?

[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
Possibly the check reldir=…/check fails on Windows? Maybe it is the other way round and the command check …/check fails on OS X? Changing it to (non-existent) check reldir=extensionstxt2foo.pl/check doesn't prevent the extension from being loaded on OS X -- i.e. the check command seems completely ignored and the input file format for *.txt listed anyway in the 'File open' dialog. Changing the dependency check (to non-existent) dependency type=executable location=extensionstxt2foo.pl/dependency prevents the extension from loading though (file type not listed). -- import of text file fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 479944] Re: import of text file fails
Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I'm not aware of how to import *.txt files. The file type is not listed in the File-Import... or File-Open.. dialogs. Attempting to open/import a txt file by using All Files from either of these dialogs just gives me a dialog with the message: Failed to load the requested file /home/alex/Documents/Text/text.txt On a separate note, Ubuntu already Suggests libsvg-perl, which adds SVG.pm and fixes the problem in comment #2. The ideal solution would be to bump this up to Recommends status so that it is automatically installed along with Inkscape. However, this is not possible because Inkscape is a main package (i.e. officially supported) while libsvg- perl is a universe package (i.e. community supported). ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: inkscape Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Changed in: inkscape Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- import of text file fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479944 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not aware of how to import *.txt files. The file type is not listed in the File-Import... or File-Open.. dialogs. If the file type is not listed, one of the dependencies in 'txt2svg.inx' is not fulfilled: dependency type=executable location=extensionstxt2svg.pl/dependency dependency type=executable location=pathperl/dependency i.e. either the extension script is missing (incomplete installation?), or Inkscape cannot find 'perl' in your $PATH? related files in the 0.48.x branch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/annotate/head%3A/share/extensions/txt2svg.inx http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/annotate/head%3A/share/extensions/txt2svg.pl Please check the contents of '~/.config/inkscape/extension-errors.log' if it gives any clues why the extension fails to load.
