gimp changed canvas size for old figures - fkrizek - 08-08-2020
Dear experts,
half a year ago i used gimp to create figures where canvas size was quite large (width ~5000 px, height ~13000 px). At that time figures were saved ok and i was able to export them to png. After a half year, when i try to reopen the original svg files, the gimp shows me only part of the original canvas ( width~700 px , height~1000 px). Is there a way how to restore the full canvas?
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards
Filip

What version of linux are you using? Is it different from the version used to create that large png file.

You can open an svg at any resolution you want. Is it this type of work flow ?
The only thing I can think of at the moment. There is a small canvas open.
File -> Open-As-Layer an SVG without adjusting the resolution.

The new layer is larger than the canvas and only part shows.

If that is the case, then: Image -> Fit canvas to layers, shows all or go back to Open-As-Layers and import, setting an appropriate size.

I am using Ubuntu version 16.04 (xenial). It is the same version which was used to create the figure.

Usually, i open the svg figure with File->Open

I tried what you recomended but unfortunatelly, this did not help. When i increase the height from 1000 px to 5000 px, the displayed image stays the same. It is just larger in size

Unfortunately, this hint did not help either.

I have no idea of your work-flow from that.
Post an image, like the first one I posted, showing the whole of GImp with image size and SVG import dialogue.
Might be able to figure out what you are doing wrong.

Hello, I managed to open the files in original size in inkscape, which allows me to edit the file. So i consider the problem to be solved.
