When reporting bugs, there is no field to specify the version and the OS!

I'm using 0.48 on WinXP.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9812 on OS X 10.5.8 with UniConvertor 1.1.5 prerelease

Export as is works, but the rectangles are displaced to the left. I get better results when converting all rectangles to path before saving a copy as WMF.

Possibly platform-dependent issue (win32), or bug in the current stable UniConvertor release?

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654 (Aug 16 2010), uniconv 1.1.5, exit message is the same as above.

I do not get this problem if I use uniconvertor 1.1.4 from a DOS prompt, wmf file attached

[Alvin Penner (apenner)]

fwiw, the problem disappears if you delete the linear gradient that is present in the defs section, wmf file attached:

I've a solution on Ubuntu :

- first, download http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-sk1libs-0.9.1_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb
     open with gdebi and install
- then install http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-uniconvw-1.1.5_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb
- and install http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-uniconvertor-1.1.5_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb

it seams to work !

for other distrib, you can see here : http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor&op=download

Fixed in Inkscape 0.91pre2, maybe also fixed in 0.48.5. If so, please close.
