Output of the subtract path operation.

Description Kubuntiac 2009-09-17 18:47:44 UTC 
Version:           2.1 Beta 2 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Look at the test file attached. Inside you'll see instructions for two shapes you can select and use "Subtract Paths" on. When you do so, you'll notice that rather than shape b being cut out of shape a, shape a just disappears altogether.

Wow! That was überfast! I'll recompile and give it a shot early next week when I'm back home on my regular (compiling) box.

Thanks again Jan. It's really appreciated!

btw, not sure who added this, but the new pluggable filter effects are a brilliant idea. *very* excited about the possibilities! Karbon is making great progress thanks to you and the team. :)

Hmmm... just compiled and tried revision 1029809 and the file attached above. I still seem to have the same problem. See the following attached image for a jpg of what I get.

Are you sure you have installed after compiling it? The patch fixes the issue for me.
Comment 7 Kubuntiac 2009-10-02 10:35:40 UTC 
Wierd. I *did* do make install on it, but the problem continued. I wiped out my whole sources and recompiled and now it works perfectly.

Thanks again, Jan!
