Bug Description

Reproduced on Crunchbang Waldorf, Inkscape trunk revision 12954.
Not reproduced with revision 12953.

1. Open File>New>Templates...
2. Select a template in the list..
-> The preview shows the "Linked image not found" image.

Note that it doesn't prevent Inkscape from loading the template.
Also note that the preview never worked on Windows, but it's a different issue (the preview shows a blank image).

Reproduced with r12954 on OS X 10.7.5: the template dialog displays the fallback image 'Linked image not found', instead of a picture showing the page size frame.

Note that even r12953 doesn't render a preview of the actual SVG template (e.g. with predefined visible objects):
** (inkscape-12953:30809): WARNING **: Including svg images tags is not yet supported.
but at least it shows a preview of the page frame proportions.

Changed in inkscape:
milestone: none → 0.91
status: New → Triaged

AFAICT this aspect of the regression was introduced with earlier changes in revision 12945 (tests with archived builds: ok with r12944, fails with r12948):

@Martin - JFYI: I'm closing this one as 'Fix Released' for now, since the revert of the partial sp-image refactoring in r12984 also undid the changes which broke the preview image for templates:
With rev >= 12984 the preview image of the SVG template is rendered again, AFAICT using librsvg (if for example the template has visible flowed text objects, the preview renders only black filled rectangles; librsvg doesn't support flowed text).

(Bug #1271938 tracks a related issue for the Windows port)
