trunk, 0.91.x: add extension/feature to fix rendering of non-uniformly scaled bitmap images

Hi suv,
I've the same problem moving from ver 0,48 to 0,91.

Is your extension intended to be used
-in ver 0,48, to SAVE the interested files, and then "normally open" them in 0,91,
-or to OPEN the files in the new 0,91 (saved with the old 0,48) preventing the error to be displayed?

@giuliano69 - I wrote the extension with Inkscape 091 in mind, but it can be used in either version (in 0.48 to prepare files to be used in 0.91, in 0.91 to fix rendering of files created with older versions). If you run it in 0.48, you won't see an immediate visual effect there, whereas in 0.91, the images will be rendered scaled as expected immediately after the extension has been applied.

Steps:
1) install extension
2) open the SVG file in Inkscape 0.91
3) apply the extension (Extensions > Images > Set attribute 'preserveAspectRatio')

The default settings will add the attribute to _all_ images in the current document.

Updated version of extension (cleanup, adds one additional scope to
modify images in)

Needs more testing and review.

Thanks suv
installed version 0.91, and opened an svg file created with version 0.48
The problem was present.

Applied the plugin and the bitmap suddenly showed correctly.

good work. Thanks a lot !

Setting bug status to confirmed based on two other reports asking about the changes how bitmap images in files created with older Inkscape versions are rendered in Inkscape 0.91 (bug #1417277, bug #1420679).

Updated version of the extension:
* combine features for this (bug #1357808) and bug #1418038 into a single extension (Extensions > Images > Set Image Attributes)
* add a new 'Basic' front tab for "Quick fix" feature:
Default: add 'preserveAspectRatio="none"' to all images in document
Optional: change rendering mode for existing images to 'blocky'

Hello.

I fixed this problem, ( the barbarian way ) for all the thousands of .svg files i previoulsy worked with Inkscape 0.48, by installing and using the tool "regexxer".

regexxer changes any characters in any number of ASCII files.

I just changed all the chains of character in all of my .svg files:

<image

by this chain of character:

<image preserveAspectRatio="none"

I can work ok now, with my 0.48 .svg files

I think this trick should be used only on previoulsy 0.48 .svg files that have not been yet opened by 0.91, because it would add another extra preserveAspectRatio="none" for every images.

I hope this can help.

Tested with trunk r14086, works as expected, I think it should be committed to trunk.

Attaching latest updated version of the extension (I'll commit it to
trunk later today):

Changelog:
332: 2015-05-20 remove 'Help' tab (not really needed); whitespace
331: 2015-05-20 fix 'in_selection' scope
183: 2015-02-27 fix tab context (elif); unify dict usage
182: 2015-02-27 refactor if/else; add live preview
181: 2015-02-27 unset attributes if not checked in 'Basic' tab
180: 2015-02-27 add support for optional <meetOrSlice> value

Extension committed to trunk in r14164.
