Inkscape

locked layer after SVG import is forever locked

Bug #221888 reported by Rainer M. Engel on 2008-04-25

Bug Description

If you block a layer for safety reasons in a inkscape.svg and import this artwork back into your current project, you're no able to do anything with it. It is not markable and you can't transform/rotate etc. You can only uncheck its layers visibility so that the imported element gets unvisible. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO with the actual layer attributes; blocked or not. Hope this helps.. ;-)

Ahoi, Rainer

(You mean "locked", not "blocked". I've changed the title accordingly.)

This bug happens because layers are converted to ordinary groups when importing, but the locking isn't removed - and it's not easy for the user to remove locking of ordinary groups.

Here's a patch that fixes this by removing locking at the same time as the layers are converted to groups.
