Re: [darktable-user] Question regarding .svg watermarks comparing Windows and Ubuntu Linux
No, Patrick. Not at all. First, There was a bug in darktable. I never did anything about it because I find that the excellent darktable team is usually very quick to fix bugs without my intervention, so I simply waited. (Usually when I go to make a bug report, one has already been filed, examined, and closed, so I do not actually have to do much of anything, except to either wait on the new subversion to be published, or pull the updated source code and recompile. Occasionally I make additional comments in the bug report for my particular use case if it seems that the discussion seems to miss critical points, e.g., someone suggests it is a bug limited to RH when I have the same issue on Ubuntu, or a KDE issue when I have the issue in GNOME). Second, Having waited so long, and the bug is still there, and in light of Pascal giving a workaround which does not work in all cases, (certainly not my cases), I have decided to go ahead and make that bug report after all. The first is a testament to how wonderful the darktable team has been in the past. The second (and the first) is an admission that they are only that wonderful because people like me make bug reports. Your statements keep suggesting that I want someone else to file a bug report on my behalf. Not at all the case. I was merely pointing out the facts that ① The issue is neither that the SVG was created in Windows, nor missing fonts. ② Converting the text to curves is not a workaround which everyone can use. ③ I have been aware of the bug for quite some time. ④ I did not make a bug report because I presumed the magnificent team would have caught it. ⑤ It is high time that I make that bug report. Not once did I suggest, or request, that anyone do something about it save for myself. Points ①-③ is germane to the thread, and statements made therein by others, including the OP. Points ③-⑤ goes to the fact that I will get on this, by filing a formal bug report.

Re: [darktable-user] Question regarding .svg watermarks comparing Windows and Ubuntu Linux
Thank you, Michael. I also thought that was clear. To respond to the other two and give clarity; the penultimate paragraph says, “I should have made a bug report….” That suggests that the last paragraph is referring to me making that bug report, to make the amazing team aware of the problem, (and why it needs a fix and not a workaround).

Then what's stopping you? *We* cannot do it for you, as we don't know exactly what you did/didn't do, nor do we know your system. And your mail certainly doesn't give enough info for a decent bug report... Remco darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
