I seems like the bug reappeared. I'm using version 0.48.4-0.1ubuntu2 of the package inkscape and tried to open a bunch of SVGs that start like this:
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd" [ <!ENTITY ns_svg "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <!ENTITY ns_xlink "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> ]> <svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" ...> The complaint is the same as above. If the document element is edited to read this: <svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ...> it works. Seemingly the entities are not expanded. I don't have the source code so I can't fix this myself. But this seems to be a good candidate for a regression test. ** Also affects: inkscape (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/166371 Title: Illustrator CS SVG won't load: namespace URIs in entities Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool: Fix Released Status in “inkscape” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Opening an SVG exported from Illustrator CS on Windows XP crashes Inkscape on Windows XP with the message: <inkscape.exe:2296>: Warning **: SVGView: error loading document To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166371/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
