problems with Outline filter

[Brynn]

Hi Friends,
There seems to be some problems with the Morphology > Outline filter, which hopefully will be discussed further in this topic at InkscapeForum: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=24820.

At least 1 problem with it is that when you click Live Preview, it actually applies the filter (according to the status bar). After clicking Live Preview, I can change 1 option, and the object responds, but no further changes will happen. For example, with Live Preview, click Fill Image causes the image to be filled with the outline color. But unclicking it does not cause that fill to go away. (Maybe because it's not previewing, but applying the filter.)

The problems which me and the op in that topic are having, is that the filter doesn't seem to work at all for outlines. If I check Fill Image, that seems to work. But no configuration of options will result in any kind of outline, for me. And if I check Hide Image, that seems to work. But no other options affect the preview, or if I just click Apply button to apply the filter.

I'm on Win7, 64-bit, sp1 and Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (and I could test on 64-bit, if needed) (exe installer). And the op of the IF topic is on a Mac system (details in the op of that topic).

Let me know if you need further info :-)

Thanks,
brynn

Not reproduced on Windows XP (32-bit), Inkscape trunk rev. 14920.

Note that some options only works with specific composite types or position. eg: Fill image may not be noticeable if the Composite type is set to In.

Hhmm, still seems a bit squirrely on 1.0 beta2. But I'm declining to migrate to GL. Closing here.
