LinuxQuestions.org - SVG overwritten by "identify"

SVG overwritten by "identify"

As in topic. When I try to open .svg file (valid or invalid) by:

Code:

identify <filename.svg>

or:

Code:

display <filename.svg>

entire file will be overwritten by error message:

Code:

/tmp/magick-W0ZTRRwTcj6czhomV-9zgZpQS5yVuXfb:1: parser error : Document is empty



^



** (org.inkscape.Inkscape:669): WARNING **: 20:46:12.346: Could not detect file format. Tried to open it as an SVG anyway but this also failed.

ink_file_open: '/tmp/magick-W0ZTRRwTcj6czhomV-9zgZpQS5yVuXfb' cannot be opened!

InkscapeApplication::document_open: Failed to open: /tmp/magick-W0ZTRRwTcj6czhomV-9zgZpQS5yVuXfb

ConcreteInkscapeApplication::on_open: failed to create document!

Distribution slackware64-current with alienbob repos.

BTW "identify" is also used by F3 view in midnight commander.

Can somebody confirm it is not just my machine configuration?

l/imagemagick-7.1.1_29-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Revert to the previous ImageMagick because the latest one is destroying SVG
files if "identify" or "display" is used on them.
Thanks to pc2005.

I can reproduce the problem only with imagemagick-7.1.1_29-x86_64-1. Did you update /etc/ImageMagick-7/delegates.xml after installing imagemagick-7.1.1_30-x86_64-1?

Thanks, that seems to help.

It was a configuration problem after all. I must have missed the configuration changed notice even when I specifically reinstalled the imagemagick yesterday :-/.

So the imagemagick-7.1.1_30 is fine, but delegates.xml _must_ be updated or it destroys svg.
