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
