[SOLVED] Problem copying objects in Inkscape 0.48.0-4

I have problems when I copy any object when using inkscape. Even after removing the config directories and using a completely blank document.
I create a simple rect and press ctr+c (or use the context menu) and this error comes up:
El script inkex.py y, por lo tanto, esta extensión necesitan la envoltura lxml («lxml wrapper») para libxml2. Descargue
e instale la última versión de http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml/ o mediante su gestor de paquetes con un
comando similar a este: sudo apt-get install python-lxml
It says "inkex.py", which comes with the package, needs python-lxml. So I install the package, close inkscape, remove the configuration directories and try again.
Now it throws this error message:
No matching node for expression: /svg:svg/@sodipodi:docname
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gimp_xcf.py", line 185, in <module>
e.affect()
File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 215, in affect
self.effect()
File "gimp_xcf.py", line 43, in effect
docname = self.xpathSingle('/svg:svg/@sodipodi:docname')[:-4]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
The script "gimp_xcf.py" also comes with the package. No clue why it is calling it since I'm only trying to copy (not even paste) from a clean svg document.
I click accept and this error message comes up asking me to install uniconvertor:
You need to install the UniConvertor software.
For GNU/Linux: install the package python-uniconvertor.
For Windows: download it from
http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor
and install into your Inkscape's Python location
I install uniconvertor, delete the configuration directories and try again. The previous "gimp_xcf.py" error message comes up, I click accept again only to get another error dialog:
No layers found
I click accept again and now I can paste the object. But the "gimp_xcf.py" and "No layers found" dialogs keep coming up in a loop which can only be stopped by killing inkscape.
I doubt very much this is a upstream issue since I couldn't find it in inkscape's bug tracker (such obvious bug would have been reported already) I also cannot find any report in arch's bug tracker. So I'm unsure if I should report this, anyone else has this problem? All related packages are up to date.

I found I was having this problem running xfce4.8
There seems to be some talk about it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/418242
It seems that clipboard managers may be causing the problem. I wasn't running xfce4-clipman but I found that killing xfce4-settings-helper fixed the problem for me.
Hope this helps.

Problems copying to disk Solved

I have read lots of posts regarding problems copying onto CD disks,
Having wasted lots of disks doing the same, reading thru the problems and solutions, the answers were coming back, clean your disk drive, send it back to apple its faulty , there had been pages and pages, from guys who knew what they was talking about, not from people like me ,
So my point is trying to copy photos to a CD-R 700MB with no luck, and I copy load of these, So what's changed, Ive used sony and had problems, I've just got a new batch of Tesco CD-R and wasted about 8 of them,
I just had a couple of old ones left TDK, the ones you can print using an Ink jet on Purchased 100 on a reel, worked first time,
Now I've had the same problem before, but it seems to come back to the, disk make. your using not the faulty Unit all YOU TECHNO guys tell us
I hope this helps
best of luck

Well, yeah. Obviously you have to have decent disc blanks in addition to a functional and clean disc burner.

How to copy objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution?

I recently have bought a new Macbook Pro (Version 10.10.1) with the OS X Yosemite. The computer comes with the new Pages (version 5.5.1).
Here is the problem: I like to create artwork using the shapes on Pages. Previously, on my old mac, I used Pages 4.3 to create objects, which I would copy then paste to Photoshop and it would become a vector smart object. However, in the new Pages (version 5.5.1), when I copy objects, they would appear on Photoshop as instead, a layer and it would not be in full resolution.
Also, I know there is nothing wrong with the Pages file itself because I have converted the document to PDF form and it is high resolution when inserted into Photoshop that way.
Does anyone know how I can copy individual objects from Pages (5.5.1) and paste it into Photoshop as a vector smart object with high resolution as I have done before?
Thanks!

Oh, well if you don't actually need vector objects then it looks like this is possible. As I said earlier, Pages is putting a PNG on the clipboard. I tested it and it does paste into Photoshop as a transparent layer, because I can see the transparent background of the pasted PNG graphic if I either turn off all layers behind it in Photoshop, or if I start a new Photoshop document to paste into but make sure I choose Transparent for the Background Contents in the New Document dialog.

CS4 problems copying and pasting masked items

The problem: Copying and pasting a placed image combined with other Illustrator art with multiple gausian blurs that have been masked/grouped. Placed image type does not matter. PDF, JPG, TIFF, etc placed in Illustrator CS4 (or 3). Some images are complex and others are not.
What happens: After copying and pasting, the masked (grouped) image breaks apart into separate components that are no longer masked/grouped. Happens with different files with different images on different computers. WIth or without text in document. Sometimes image pastes correctly but most times it does not.
Hardware/OS: 3 separate iMacs (20" and two 23") all with intel chips but different processing speeds. All running latest and most updated version of Leopard. All with 4 MB Ram and more than a 100 GB of free hard drive space.
Software: Illustrator CS4 (latest update) and CS3 on one of the 23" iMacs.
Solutions tried so far: Ran Onyx, repaired permissions, scripts, cleaned caches, zapped PRAM and on one iMac, ran Disk Warrior. Tried in Safe boot mode and tired with a new user account. Created new files with new images and tried old files. Tried opening files from the server and from the desktop. Threw out illustrator prefs and emptied trash.
Thought it may have to do with font conflicts but some files don't have fonts. Turned off font management programs (Suitcase on one iMac, Font Explorer Pro on others, all updated to latest version) and restarted so only system fonts loaded. No luck. Turned on fonts used in various documents, still no luck.
Thought it may have to do with memory issues after copying masked items. Sometimes the copied image would paste correctly and then the next time I pasted it, it would not. Before pasting a second time I would copy a small item (to clear the memory) and then paste it and then recopy the masked item and paste that. Still no luck.
Checked activity monitor but nothing looks to be a memory hog or out of place. Happens on all three iMacs and while the OS and Illustrator are common to all three, Fonts and font management tools are not. No weird plug-ins or third party extensions installed. Plus it happened in safe boot mode so all extraneous fonts and such should have been deactivated.
Curiously, if I drag copy the masked item using the option key, the masked item copies fine. I know this can be used as a work-around but I would like to resolve this as sometimes the designers need/want to use command-c/command-v.
Not sure what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
solve this glitch in my experience.
Good Luck

Having problems copying an image

I'm having problems copying an image. The Image comes from my jar file and I'm trying to copy it to my hard drive. The problem is that it seems to add extra characters at the beggining and maybe at the end as well. I used a Hex Editor to compare the contents.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions.
My code is listed below in case that helps.
"in" is an InputStream, "content" is a byte array, and "out" is an OutputStream
try {
   in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("LoveGameSm.gif");
   content = new byte[in.available()];
   out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("Tmp.gif"));
   in.read(content);
   out.write(content);
   out.flush();
   in.close();
   out.close();
catch(Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
   return null;
}

The problem is in the use of ObjectOutputStream... this does not work the way you think it does. It is used to serialize an object to an output stream. A serialized object is just the on-disk representation of a Java object. So, you are getting a serialized copy of a byte array, which is why there are extra characters.
Instead, just leave off the ObjectOutputStream stuff, and write to the FileOutputStream. Better yet, wrap it in a BufferedOutputStream to increase performance.

"Error 16" solution doesn't solve problem, same error message pops up. Further steps?

Steps followed: all Adobe products (CS6 Suite and CC) have been removed (w/uninstaller and manual Library cleanup) and reinstalled (from discs and downloads); permissions corrected as per KB note on Error 16, to no change. This occurred after updating Mac OS to 10.9x. The OS was then reinstalled, new admin & standard users created (MacPro hardware passes all tests). "Error 16" permission solution performed at every stage to no change in error generation. Adobe Reader, Lightroom 4, and CS6Bridge do launch, but Acrobat Professional, Photoshop (13, CS6), and CC Photoshop stop launch w/error 16. Stumped!

Thanks for the suggestion, Gene, but it had no affect on the ³error 16²
situation, I¹m afraid. I think I¹m going to have to start with a new drive
and import/update until I find the source of this issue.

Illustrator CC pastes unformatted code when trying to copy objects

When I attempt to copy and paste objects or text, illustrator pastes unformatted code (see picture).
When I copy the object and paste it a second time, it works fine, it's only when pasting for the first time.
It's not the end of the world but it's really quite annoying, any help would be appreciated, cheers.
Image below shows the copied objected and resulting paste

just fixed my own problem: preferences > file handling & clipboard > include SVG code

Internal lock version management : Unable to copy objects

Hi ALL
We need help with this particular problem we are facing with our ID objects....
I am unable to copy my communication channels which i was able to do it earlier without any problem...just to make it easy while developing new object...we used to make a copy and edit...instead of creating new scratch.
However, now we are facing a problem once we try activating any copied object, here is the error message we are getting...
"Version management was unable to execute the last action because a temporary internal lock has been set. Repeat the action "
This is not a user lock....we checked that, please do let us know how we can fix this ...so that we may be able to copy and activate copied object without the above error.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Partrick

Hi
Its Weird but it can happen if you copy object whose previous version is still not activated. I still think you must check with all the change lists. or bring all to PISUPER and activate them.
Oops then i think it got locked for all. Refresh the cache and even soft restart for J2EE.
I think you copy a lot
Thanks

Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps. Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

I got the following post from Danny Haas:
If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text. To do
that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
reformat in FH.

Subject: Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2
I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
in FHMX and copy from there.

Problem copying some files. Error messages -36 and -50

I'm trying to backup my user folder onto an external LA Cie drive, and some of the files refuse to copy. The files, it seems, are mostly image or mov. files, and there appear to be dozens of "bad" ones, maybe hundreds. Several tens of thousand have no problem copying, but the bad files foul up the entire process.
The error messages I tend to get are as follows:
--"The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [file name] could not be read or written (error code -36)"
--"The operation cannot be completed because the item [file name] is locked."
--I also get error code -50 sometimes.
Can anyone diagnose this problem and tell me how to fix it?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Todd--
First thing I think I'd try would be to see if a different cable helps. Sometimes a bad cable can cause problems with an external disk. Also, make sure nothing but the drive is connected to the PowerBook.
Second, look at the LaCie web site and see if there's a firmware update for your drive. I found a post on another board where the person had the -50 problem with a LaCie DVD drive that was cured by a firmware update.
The -36 error means there's a disk I/O error:
<pre class="command">ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/</pre>Look in your console log at the time you try to copy one of these files. It might have a line something like this:
<pre class="command">Apr 07 09:00:00 username kernel[0]: disk0s3: I/O error.</pre>The username and disk0s3 parts will change a bit. You can figure out which disk is which using the Terminal application. Just copy and run this command:
<pre class="command">diskutil list</pre>That'll give you the names and BSD identifiers (which is the diskNsN name) for your drive's partition. That should tell you where the actual error is occuring.
As for the -50 error, that's an error in the parameter list. That can be caused by copying Mac files to FAT32 formatted partitions. If your LaCie drive is not formatted as Mac OS Extended, you might come up against this problem, too.

I upgraded to Maverick and now Time Machine will not connect to the external hard drive to back up files. The external hard drive is a Western Digital "My Book Live" 2 TB. How do I solve problem?

I also had problem accessing my WD MyBookLive after upgrading to Maverick.
To resolve the problem, I used Connect To Server (Cmd K) to specify the IP address.
Then I enter a user id and password I created in the MyBookLive.
You can also verify that you have admin access to the MyBookLive using Safari or Chrome.
Just enter the MyBookLive IP address as the URL.

Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.
