Has anyone managed any success using the SVG import filter plug-in? All I ever get when I try to use it is "General I/O error". I had hoped to use it with Open Clip Art stuff.


Do you have Java 1.5, their site specifically recomend this.


Yes. I specifically made sure of that.
BTW, this is on 1.9.125, WinXP Home.


BTW, am I the only one who believes it ironic that the vanguard application for open standards doesn't fully support the first, true, official vector graphic standard?


You are free to contribute to erradicate this irony.


Since I can't code the point is moot. I would just think it would be kind of embarrassing for those of you who are most deeply connected with the project. I can utilize any one of about two dozen, mostly proprietary, formats... but not SVG.

Look, I'm not really complaining so much as making an observation. It doesn't really affect me that much, personally; I found a set of Cisco icons for making network diagrams on their site. They had put them inside a Powerpoint document and I found that converting the ppt to sxi also resulted in the images being converted into svm format. Perfect!

But I do appreciate the very polite way you managed to convey the open-source mantra of "Show me the code or shut the **** up." That was classier than most. ;)
