LousyWeather Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hello there, I am trying to open this file: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SVG_locator_maps_of_Europe_(grey_scheme)#/media/File:Location_European_nation_states.svg in Affinity Designer (1.6.1, MacOS), but I keep getting the error message that the image could not be parsed (in German: "Fehler beim Parsen der Datei"). What's wrong? How can I fix this? Best regards - Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wosven Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 It was made with an older InkScape version, using 90dpi instead of 96. It's nearly 6M ! The hidden part : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
