Inkscape

It won't let me export as a PNG file any longer. How can I solve this?

Asked by Mario Saverino

Hi All -
I've been working with Inkscape for a while now and every-time I exported as PNG I had never had a problem.
Today I tried to export a SVG as a PNG and a new window came up which read: "The Chosen Area To Be Exported Is Invalid?
It's funny because I was able to export this file earlier today without a problem.
I am using Windows 7.
Any suggestions?

Digging around the relevant area, I found this little bit:

 if (!((x1 > x0) && (y1 > y0) && (width > 0) && (height > 0))) {
            desktop->messageStack()->flash(Inkscape::ERROR_MESSAGE, _("The chosen area to be exported is invalid."));

Which probably means that the export area got messed up somehow.

I would try changing the export mode to "Drawing" to see if that works.

Can you help with this problem?
