[krita] [Bug 473873] SVG scaling issue, transforming when it shouldn't and The grid snapping doesn't work
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473873 --- Comment #4 from George Hayes --- The problem is it doesn't look the same. Why do all the extra transforms when they are just added work for no reason. You simply created more work for system while getting no benefit at all from it if anything it made it worse.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473873 --- Comment #3 from Alvin Wong --- Again, Krita is not a general purpose vector editor. Its vector capabilities is to allow adding vector shapes to a drawing or painting primarily for raster output. It does not aim to preserve the original SVG markup exactly as-is. It can and will change the representation of paths and shapes and apply various transform as long as the visual output looks the same. This is not going to change any time soon. If the raw values of paths is important to you, I strongly recommend you use Inkscape instead of trying to get what you look for using Krita. I only marked this issue as "confirmed" for the unintuitive handling of the document DPI on exporting as SVG. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473873 --- Comment #2 from George Hayes --- I did some further testing. I imported the following svg. http://www.w3.org/2000/svg;> To get the correct scaling in the image it was done at 256 to get to the right size with the default 300pixels per inch and 0.43 print under scale image. But the positioning is off. If I change it to 128resolution and 1in 128 with and 128 height. It scales perfectly at and positions perfectly. However, if I then export that very same layer. It changes it to what is below which again is shrunk in size and transformed. The new svg it creates can't even be properly imported back in sized and positioned without work. My suggest is drop the transformation let the people printing it worry about that just focus on getting the point position and so on right. Don't worry about the DPI that is an issue for the people print software. http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd;> http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; xmlns:krita="http://krita.org/namespaces/svg/krita; xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd; width="72pt" height="72pt" viewBox="0 0 72 72"> -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473873 Alvin Wong changed: What|Removed |Added Ever confirmed|0 |1 CC||al...@alvinhc.com Status|REPORTED|CONFIRMED --- Comment #1 from Alvin Wong --- Yes, there are some confusing aspects of how vector layers are being handled in Krita. In particular, the current implementation of vector layers always use "pt" (1/72 inch) as the unit and that is why it is used in the exported SVG. It also takes into account the document resolution, and since your document is set to 300 ppi, 1 pt = 4.166... px (document) and therefore 128 px (document) = 30.72 pt. This makes sense to match the "print size" of the document. For web usage, since the CSS defines px to be exactly 1/96 inch, the document should be set to 96 ppi to match that. But also unintuitively, even if you resize the image changing only the resolution to 96 ppi, exporting the layer immediately still gives you the same dimensions. This is because at this point the scale is only applied to the layer and not the shapes inside (an oddity of the implementation of "scale image"). To fix that, you have to clone the layer and export the cloned layer, or save then reopen the file. Tl;dr: Don't use Krita as a general purpose vector editor; it's not. Use Inkscape for that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
