Save as EPS closes Inkscape

[Bug Importer]

Mac build 16340 dmg run on Macmini Intel duo core:

Saving as EPS (standard settings in the popup windows)
causes an internal error message and Inkscape to shut down.

Workaround:
If one is aware of this bug, save to SVG file and load it into 45.1 build
to save there as EPS.

This was fixed in revision 16419 by johanengelen.
I confirmed that it works on Mac aswell.

This still fails for me in 16467 on an Intel core duo MacBook. I get a
similar effect trying to save as ps (not using Cairo).

I followed the gdb instructions on ... and didn't produce anything
particularly enlightening:

I am happy to provide any more information / test any new builds.

Um... I meant I followed the instructions on
http://www.inkscape.org/report_bugs.php?lang=en

I don't know gdb so perhaps I can get more information somehow?

I also have a screenshot of the error dialogue if that helps...

I'm running OSX 10.4.10.

[Kur9kin (kur9kin)]

Originator: NO

Hmmm...

The error dialog might help.

Are you sure you got the new code in?
Try to check it out from scratch, and build it again.

The gdb output won't really tell us much in this case I'm afraid...

How far do you get? Do you get to enter the options for the EPS export?
Does it crash right after that? (Because the fix in the rev. i mentioned
took care
of a bug like that)

Can you export to any other formats? What works/what doesn't?

I am running the 16467 snapshot from
http://inkscape.modevia.com/macosx-snap/

I get to enter my options for export, and then it crashes when I click OK,
whichever choices I make.

I get this problem when saving as: .eps .ps (Cairo .ps works) .ai .espi.
All svg formats work, as does .odg (opens correctly in NeoOffice). Some
other formats fail to save due to missing bits of python, others appear to
work but I have no easy way of verifying their success (Tex looks right in
a text editor, for example).

What dependencies do I need to build inkscape? Are they all available via
MacPorts?

Thanks,

Jack

I experience the same bug in inkscape 0.46. I have a stack trace

[ZeToken (sourceforge-zetoken)]

Hi there,

Same problem (internal error of Inkscape and crash) occurs when saving to postscript, pdf, ps and EMF. I tried it with last SVN depository, and checked the same problem with precompiled Inkscape0802121743.7z
OS: Windows Vista Business

[JiHO (jiho)]

Works for me for EPS, Cairo PS etc. on Inkscape rev 17338

[Johan Engelen (johanengelen)]

Setting to milestone 0.46 because I think this is a definitive show stopper.
(it has worked, though I don't know from which SVN rev it stopped working)

[JiHO (jiho)]

Ignore my comment about rev 17338 above, it crashed there too (don't know why I thought it worked). Still does not work on rev 17373. I am attaching my crash log in case it helps.

[Maximilian Albert (cilix)]

I'm not sure if we are talking about more than one bug here [1]. But git-bisect says that the latest crash was introduced in rev #17244. Thus I'm assigning to Ted Gould for inspection. Here is another backtrace, in case it helps:

#0 Inkscape::Extension::Extension::get_state (this=0x0) at extension/extension.cpp:210
#1 0x0850ea33 in Inkscape::Extension::Effect::effect (this=0x0, doc=0x88fde00) at extension/effect.cpp:248

#5 0x0a5bcb60 in ?? ()
#6 0x00000000 in ?? ()

[1] Just a guess because the original bug was allegedly fixed, and when I tested some revisions later than the ones mentioned in the above posts they worked for me.

[theAdib (theadib)]

I don't know if the commit 17420 solves all the issues.
It simply test in (only) one specific case the pointer to NULL.

Pls test and report. Adib.

[Dino (martin-tomko)]

It still crashes with the latest 0.46 pre 1 release. It did also with 0.45-1.
It crashes when you do save as copy and also when just doing save as with default settings. Once you tick embed fonts it works fine (although there are no texts in the drawing).

Frustrating...

Hello Adib,

It works for me. Thanks. Do you want a formal response in the tracker?

It is solved in SVN.

I can't reproduce personally (on win32 nor ubuntu hardy)... please let us know if it's still an issue for you.

[Ted Gould (ted)]

Fixed in SVN.
