Wrong convert INKSCAPE-SVG to PNG

[varlesh]

It's very strange. I don't know it's bug inkscape or ...
Script convert icon with background, but background - it's not layer!
For example, clementine-panel from Papirus Arc Dark (for KDE).

On left original icon - on right converted with script.

Converted icon have background #f7f7f7 but really background from source transparent!
Script convert pagecolor to layer. But why?!
source:
https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme-kde/blob/master/papirus-arc-dark/22x22/status/clementine-panel.svg

 id="namedview88"
     inkscape:object-nodes="true"
     inkscape:object-paths="true"
     objecttolerance="10"
     pagecolor="#f7f7f7"
     inkscape:pageopacity="1"
     inkscape:pageshadow="2"
     showborder="true"
     showgrid="false"
     showguides="true"

i know, pagecolor option not available on PLAIN-SVG... but maybe available method for fixing INKSCAPE-SVG?

[varlesh]

I'm delete icon cache, update script from git and run twice. Bug reproduced with INKSCAPE-SVG icons...
I know need save icons as PLAIN-SVG, but i must remake all tray icons - it's very long work and have more icons... because Developers like hardcoded :(

Tried with Numix theme, and the issue is only reproducible with your theme :(

@varlesh You could try some svg-cleaning scripts (https://github.com/RazrFalcon/svgcleaner) that removes all of the unneeded parameters

[varlesh]

@wa4557 I previously used this util and after some SVG's will bee broken. For example, cleaning icon not change color anymore.

[varlesh]

Maybe it's possible add option for ignore pagecolor?

[bilelmoussaoui]

If you can figure out how to do that with Inkscape command line, i would be more than happy to implement that 👍

[varlesh]

it's pagecolor. I confirm this.
Icon saved as PLAIN-SVG and converted with script:

[varlesh]

@bil-elmoussaoui
-l, --export-plain-svg=FILENAME

Export document(s) to plain SVG format, without sodipodi: or inkscape: namespaces and without RDF metadata.

https://inkscape.org/en/doc/inkscape-man.html#options

[bilelmoussaoui]

Well in that case just run a bash script that will export all your svg icons as plain ones? I can provide one if you want to :)

[varlesh]

But if another (future) icon theme have this INKSCAPE-SVG or NUMIX too?
Maybe better add this option on script? And i'm will be happy ... and others too!!!

[varlesh]

Yes, convert time will. But all icon theme will be converted right.

[bilelmoussaoui]

Well, Numix does not have this issue :) if any future icon theme has this issue i will link this issue with the script i'm going to provide. The reason why i'm not willing to implement this directly on Hardcode-Tray because we will have the same result if the user uses Cairosvg we will face the same issue again. So better fix it from the source!
The script will walk in the directory you provide and fix all the icons in there, so it's up to you to decide which directory of your theme should be fixed :)

[varlesh]

I hate inkscape!!! :( Ok, i'm go clean SVG's...

[bilelmoussaoui]

I do hate it too! Good luck with that 👍

[varlesh]

Thx :)
