It wors for me.™Could you please try it and report back the result here ?I installed your package. Somehow it seems to work better than mine.fim logo.png works fine in both X11 and linux console (fb).fim logo.svg only works under X11. Under the linux console the screen get black.
It works for me in a terminal without an X display. It shows the SVG file contents and I even see this message:
please wait while piping through 'inkscape'...
before the image is shown.
inkscape logo.svg --export-filename=- --export-type=png | fim -i works fine in both X11 and linux console (fb) (even under tmux).My wild guess is that there is some kind of race condition between the code to display the image and the code to setup the screen. The extra delay caused by starting inkscape seem to cause a problem.Anyway, at least you fixed the bug for X11. The problem with fb might be different.
Ok, I will upload version 0.7.1-3 to unstable with "Closes: #1084226" in d/changelog. Feel free to open a new bug report but, please, include a precise recipe for replicating the bug (I am not very used to the framebuffer).
Best, Rafael
