Created attachment 496340 [details] Patch fixing the problem Description of problem: Importing a file using a command line argument only succeeds if the file path is absolute. A relative path fails because inkscape chdir() to the extension directory before really opening the file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): inkscape-0.48.1-1.fc14.1.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Store a postscript-file.ps file in your home directory 2. Enter 'inkscape .ps' Actual results: Importation fails with a /undefinedfile error, as if the file did not exist. Expected results: Proper file importation. Additional info: The attached patch fixes the problem by converting all relative file arguments to absolute. I did not report the bug and the patch upstream.
Typo above: use the following: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Store a postscript-file.ps file in your home directory 2. Enter 'inkscape postscript-file.ps'

Ping ?
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
