Comment 3 for bug 1703416

Good Day
Thanks for the reply.I checked the file size of a few .svg images I created
using inkscape 0.48 and some of them are between 16Mb - 20Mb. These images
are usually up to 5Mb max.
As mentioned, I import the image into 0.92.1 and it takes a very long time
to import the image (Clinton Leeuw.svg 29.5Mb) once it is open, I select
(just the image) of the two headstones and try to export it as a bitmap on
0.92.1, It then calculates the image to be 116044x61711 - 26.5Mb .... the
image selected should be no more than 2Mb max.
Best Regards
