Summary | 0012083: opening 1.4.3 .sla in 1.5 duplicates layers and appends '(mp items)' to new ones | ||||
Description | (As I understand this may just be an issue while the 1.5 is being built transitioning to 1.6. I was still told to this out as a bug report) Opening an .sla file (created with 1.4.3 with 10 layers in it ) with a 1.5.0svn build will duplicate all the layers and append (mp items) to them thusly ending up with 20 layers. If any of the layers are deleted the .sla will not open again (beachball of death on OSX) (attached screenshot) | ||||
Additional Information | Rev 18831 Built on OS X | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

As I already mentionned on irc, the reason of this is a change of behavior with how layers are displayed. The new behavior allows to put in masterpages items which will be displayed in front of standard pages elements, such as page numbers... This was impossible in 1.4.x. However the duplication of layers is mandatory to preserve the visual aspect of a 1.4.x document with several layers when opened in 1.5.0svn. >> If any of the layers are deleted the .sla will not open again This is an issue. Please upload a sample document. |
|
Kunda, maybe just replace all text with As or something.. that will be enough. Scribus docs don't store history so no content can come through. |
|
@cdbraney Good idea. Lol, I can't open it with 1.5svn due to signal 11. And I'm trying to assess if installing 1.4.3 will play nice with my installed 1.5.0svn OSX. I may just open a new profile/user and login use fast user switching to work on the separate version. |
|
Closing as there is no work to do here given lack of sample. |
|
I cannot reproduce any issue with the provided document. |

When opening the provided sla, i have only 10 layers, not 20. That doesnt fit your report so its not clear to me what should i read. Some of the layers have names that are identicals to other layers, but with "(mp items)" appended, but their content is not the same, so its not duplicate layers. If i delete all of the "(mp-items)" save and reload document, there is no crash. I dont reproduce the issue or dont know what to check since provided doc is complex. Some SLAs got scrambled and create weird undebugable XML and that may be what happened to your SLA if you have issues with it. If you can, provide a simple SLA with just one page and one (or 2) layer. If you reproduce the crash, provide a gdb backtrace. |

Yikes, apologies. Thanks for the orientation. Will try to reproduce with a smaller document (which has been a challenge). Perhaps the issue has been magically fixed in some later revision. |
|
Cannot reproduce as I do not have the pre 1.5 .sla anymore. |
