Moving clipped image

[Mathias Weber]

If I clip an image with some clipping path and move the image later. This works perfect within inkscape and I am able to export images from this but if I try to print this page the clipping path stays at the old position but the image which was clipped gets moved.
I added an example where you can see this problem. It is separated into 3 steps.

Step 1:
I add an image and a path which I want to use later for clipping the image.
The printing works here perfectly as you can see within the pdf.

Step 2:
I duplicated the path to get a visible border and used the path for clipping the image.
The printing works still perfectly.

Step 3:
I moved the border and the cliped image.
It still looks perfect within the view of inkscape but printing does not as you can see within the pdf.

I could reproduce this bug within the Inkscape version on windows and ubuntu:
Windows Version 0.46 build 1. April 2008
Ubunut Linux Version 0.46 build 1. April 2008

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.46-2 on OS X 10.5.8 (cairo 1.5.14)
Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.46+devel r22540 on OS X 10.5.8 (cairo 1.8.8)

the transformed (moved) clipping mask is correctly rendered both when printing to file (PDF) and exporting to 'PDF'.

@Mathias - can you test if you still get the same error with a recent prerelease build of 0.47 from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.47pre4/>?

I did test it with the 0.47 pre4 release and it works now. Thanks for your help.

I only tested it on windows, since I do not have all the dev libs on my ubuntu machine. But since you could reproduce it on OS X and it is fixed there as well I guess this should be fixed now.

Closing as 'Fix released': fix confirmed by the bug reporter and local tests.

The issue seems different from bug #242484 and #168800 because the 'Print to File' routine already exported clipped objects to PDF correctly in Inkscape 0.46. I don't know which revision fixed the 'transform' bug where Inkscape apparently didn't apply the transformation of the clipping path properly to the clipped image. Bug #208217 discusses this issue in the comments as well.
