[Bug 635373] Re: Opening PNG in Inkscape shows nonsense "png GDK pixbuf Input" alert

 

As of 0.92.4, (Windows 10) the dialog displayed is identical to the one
displayed when dragging a PNG file onto the canvas. The title says "png
bitmap image import", it resizes fine, and has an entry in the taskbar.
Closing the dialog/Clicking cancel displays an error message that the
file could not be opened (which is reasonable, imo).

Closing as not reproducible.

Please reopen on http://inkscape.org/report if the problem occurs again.

Title:
  Opening PNG in Inkscape shows nonsense "png GDK pixbuf Input" alert

Status in Inkscape:
  Invalid
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  inkscape 0.47.0-2ubuntu3, Ubuntu Maverick
  inkscape 0.48.4-0.1ubuntu2, Ubuntu 13.04

  1. Select a PNG image and choose "Open With" > "Inkscape".

  What happens: A dialog appears, that:
  a. has the title "png GDK pixbuf Input";
  b. is resizable, but copes terribly with resizing;
  c. does not show up in the window switcher, so if you focused anything else while you were waiting, Inkscape seems to have failed to launch;
  d. has uncapitalized radio button labels "embed" and "link";
  e. has a strange empty space between the radio buttons and their introductory label;
  f. has a horizontal line above the buttons
  g. displays an error if you choose "Cancel".

  What should happen: either the dialog should not exist, or it should:
  a. have a sensible title, such as 'Open PNG “diagram.png”';
  b. not be resizable;
  c. show up in the window switcher;
  d, e. use push buttons rather than radio buttons; and
  f. not use any horizontal lines
  g. does not display an error if you choose "Cancel".
