Hi there! Ok I'll try to answer your questions as good as I can. I also have a Debian stable (i386) machine, so I run pre27 there.

Mine files are all eps, however. * My pre27 XML files which I created in etch (stable) are working just fine with pre27. * If I change the Version information directly in the XML file, pre27 is able to open my pre30 files. * Both pre27 and pre30 can't open the saved PDF files (reason -3). I'm not sure if this is should work or not. I thought they contain the XML information as the EPS files do. > What kind of Objects are we talking about: text or graphics?

Those who aren't missing are at wrong positions and are rotated. * I think the text objects are all there. But in some files they are at the wrong positions. > > > media size is also missing in the XML File so the PDFs are displayed > > in Letter size or so. > > The media size is missing from the XML file generated by the old > version? That can't be blamed on a bug in the current version. I always aktivate the cropbox option, so that the image is cropped properly for inclusion in Latex. This options seams to be ignored at the moment. I noticed that media="0 0 595 842" is missing in the info section when I create a new figure. I created a new figure with my broken pre30 version and the XML file is opened and saved just fine. But in the PDF there is also the Text missing but the PDF contains the fonts ... confusing. The exported EPS file is quite big (100kB) but nothing is displayed. Now I tried to open this test file with pre27. And I got a parsing error. --> Error parsing document test.ipe at character offset 360 <-- > > I'm not sure if this is related to one of the dependencies of ipe or > > the new ipe Version itself. > > ... or even a bug in the old version / old dependencies. I think not ... Greetings, Chriss
