Re: Unable to catch Gdk::PixbufError

["Milosz Derezynski" <internalerror gmail com>]

While this is somewhat offtopic, I'd like to point out (with my interest coming from being an ex-Inkscape-developer, or on hiatus, whatever works :) that the Gdk-Pixbuf loaders are _not always guaranteed to have an SVG loader on all systems_! This code will fail to load an SVG if this loader isn't installed; instead SPSVGView should be used if somehow possible.

OK, end of crying wolf and back to matter at hand (sorry for the diversion).

Yes, but please don't get scared by the size of it.
svn co

The specific code fragment can be found in
/src/ui/dialog/filedialogimpl-gtkmm.cpp, line 210.
