This problem severely limits Inkscape's usefulness when one would wants to annotate raster graphics by overlaying them with vector elements.
E.g. I'm using Inkscape to create images for my thesis. Since I'm using pdftex I'd want to export PDFs from Inkscape, but since I can't save the graphics without loosing quality I abandoned Inkscape in favor of GIMP and pure LaTeX. This bug is only part of a fundamental problem of Inkscape, see e.g. - Bug #871563 - Bug #958371 - Bug #871563 and probably many more. When this can be solved in Cairo with cairo_surface_set_mime_data() as laid out before, this should be a high priority bug and should be fixed as soon as possible since it also creates issues like bug #1220912 that could be avoided by not re-encoding embedded or linked images. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/168708 Title: Embedded jpg exported to EPS/PDF as non-jpeg (JPEGs are stored /FlateDecode instead of /DCTDecode) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168708/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
