LinksHaving just enthusiastically created 20 images for use in a 2D attack simulator, I was eager to get those Inkscape designs into my Java simulator.
Upon noticing that even the Linux OS I was using was unable to display thumbnails for the images in-question, I should have known that something was going wrong. Undaunted however, I rather venially tried to load the XML files as saved by Inkscape.
What part of the word "boom" did I not understand?
After the usual & customary 'googling, it became apparent that the problem was that Inkscape was using absent-classes to control bits of undo, layering, and other XML snippets that were simply not to be found in the Apache Batik Framework. After that epiphany, the quick-and-easy work-around became obvious.
(HINT: The use of additional JAR files was NOT required!)
Submitted for your R&D approval therefore, please consider this link so as to slap me with .02 for taking the time to share the solution to what - for many - has proven to be a real show-stopper to re-using output from many an SVG.XML program in their own - as well as in other people's - vector-laden software creations.
Note also that while sharing might indeed be caring, that gifting your fellow 'geeks with pennies from a YouTube view or two is one nice way to return the favors.
Enjoy the Journey!
