I think we're probably talking about two separate issues here... 1. a crash when working with very large files: this is now fixed, as you said in comment #2 2. a request for a "safe mode" for recovering documents that caused a crash when rendered in Inkscape.
For the second point, there is already a request (bug #1280880) for a crash recovery feature. I'll add a note to that report about the possibility of switching Inkscape into a safe mode, and close this report. Please feel free to reopen, or make a separate report if there are any issues that haven't been addressed ** Changed in: inkscape Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: inkscape Milestone: None => 0.48.4 ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280880 Title: recovery and safe mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1280880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
