cant use classes to set colors

[Sandra Karuving]

in inkscape, when we try to use classes to set a color (important for kde-plasma workspace theming). inkscape always writes the color of the element, written in the classdescription directly to the style of the element. we have to remove it from outside inkscape all the time.

for example:

create an svg file with the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<svg
   xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
   xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#"
   xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

   xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"
   xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"
   viewBox="0 0 24 24"
   id="svg"
   version="1.1"
   inkscape:version="0.91 r13725"
   width="100%"
   height="100%"
   sodipodi:docname="tmp0.svg">
  <defs
     id="defs1">
    <style
       id="current-color-scheme"
       type="text/css">.ColorScheme-Background {
 color:#333333;
}</style>
  </defs>
  <metadata
     id="metadata1">

      <cc:Work

        <dc:format>image/svg+xml</dc:format>

  <sodipodi:namedview

     inkscape:window-maximized="1"
     inkscape:current-layer="svg"
     borderlayer="true"
     showguides="true"
     inkscape:guide-bbox="true">
    <inkscape:grid
       type="xygrid"
       id="grid1"
       empspacing="5"
       visible="true"
       enabled="true"
       snapvisiblegridlinesonly="true" />
  </sodipodi:namedview>
</svg>

as you can se we embedded the css alreads. so save it as "test.svg", and open it with inkscape.

now create an element like a circle, open the xml editor and navigate to the circle element.

in your xml editor you can write now a new attribute "class" with the value of "ColorScheme-Background" and click on 'set'

next go to the style part and set the value only to "fill:currentColor".

now it *should* change the color to what is giver by the css (that part works).
BUT alongside to the "fill:currentColor" there will now be a "color:#333333". and that should not happen, because it breaks the funktionality of the css.

when you try to remove that part "color:#333333" from xml editor, its not possible. but you can remove it from outside inkscape. inkscape can still read the file.

so please make it possible that it wont write the color from css to the style element, but uses what we write in.

Thank you, but please don't close the ubuntu bugs, those will be closed once the upload fixing them is done to ubuntu :)

(in that regard, now that the bugs are being migrated, it will be a lot harder to check… but well, I'll cope somehow)
