Ungroup them, then. Ctrl+U in Inkscape (repeat if neccessary) and the group is split into its parts. -- JovanCormac 10:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I corrected all problems.Asybaris01 (talk) 14:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
All except for the text being paths, which as Sting pointed out is the biggest one. -- JovanCormac 16:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose –Giving here only a technical opinion: well bellow what one can expect from a SVG file and a map. The colored areas don't fill the whole document at the borders; the boundary between the two areas at the extreme left is a straight line while it should follow the Danube; almost the same problem at the right where there is missing a triangular section of the light green area along the “Dnistr”... which should be spelled “Dniester” as it's a map in English; same for the “Tisa” (en:Tisza) and maybe others (I didn't check); in the compass rose the West should be shown by a “W”, not a “V”; no indication (except when reading the whole legend) of the period covered by the map: neither in the file name, nor in the description page and no title in the map. For the SVG, everything is in one layer and as nothing is name-specified in the XML tree, making modifications will be quiet time-consuming; and maybe the worst: all the text have been transformed into paths making it impossible to translate it directly (the purpose of a SVG-map here is also to be easily used in the projects in other languages), which will need to retype all the labels searching the right font-type and size.

    • The colored areas don't fill the whole document at the borders - ok
    • in the compass rose the West should be shown by a “W”, not a “V” - ok
      • The edit you made replacing "V" with "W" messed up the image even more. It's plainly visible that the letter is not of the same font as the others, and not even of the same color. This is precisely why one must never convert text objects to paths. -- JovanCormac 20:51, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • From my own experience, if I don't convert the text into path, the text will appear deformed in the browser and also any multiple blank (spaces) between letters or words will dissapear, compressing the text or word (ex: "L a n d o f J o h n" will be displayed as "L a n d o f J o h n"). I have not yet managed to find a solution other than converting the text into path, if you happen to be more familiar with InkScape, please, by all means, lend a hand.Asybaris01 (talk) 16:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yes, MediaWiki is really a scrap when rendering text. The solution I found is to copy those texts, transform them into paths as you did which will serve for the display and hide the original texts in a layer bellow the map. This way you keep a clean display as well as the power of the SVG format for easy translation with the hidden labels. The file size will be a bit heavier but I think it's a small counterpart.

            • "Original Text" - LAYER created
    • at the right where there is missing a triangular section - ok
    • no indication (except when reading the whole legend) of the period covered by the map: neither in the file name, nor in the description page and no title in the map - indication in the description page - ok
    • “Dniester” as it's a map in English; same for the “Tisa” (en:Tisza) and maybe others (I didn't check) - checked, ok.
    • For the SVG, everything is in one layer and as nothing is name-specified in the XML tree, making modifications will be quiet time-consuming - layers created - ok
    • the boundary between the two areas at the extreme left is a straight line while it should follow the Danube - ok

I my opinion the map is ok now. Asybaris01 (talk) 19:17, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Maybe my Inkscape (v.0.46) doesn't understand all the code of this file because I still only have one layer (root), except if I look in the XML tree where nothing is named and where paths are mixed with texts. I don't oppose anymore because the most obvious problems have been corrected and I didn't check the whole map in details, but I still believe this SVG has been very badly conceived from the start, making it difficult to modify due to a lack of organization.
