            Bug ID: 37576
           Summary: Google Sketchup 8 : 2D Drawing File Export Broken,
                    Regression
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.30
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

      Distribution: ---

I tested current Wine stable 1.6.2, current wine development 1.7.30, and Wine
1.5.4 today running Google SketchUp 7 and Sketchup 8. Test OS was Puppy Linux
Racy 5.5.

Google SketchUp 7 and 8 (free version) have for a long time failed to properly
export drawings as 2D graphics. Files produced are either transparent blank, or
entirely black images. Files affected are .png, .bmp, and .jpg. exports.

Wine 1.5.4 seems to have resolved this issue. (see
https://sites.google.com/site/sketchupsage/problems/linux -- list of wine
version issues resolved near bottom of page). I have successfully output
SketchUp 2D graphic files with that version.

However an upgrade to current Wine Stable 1.6.2 broke this capability again for
me, and a further test of 1.7.30 also showed the same 2D graphic export
problem.

After removing 1.7.30, and re-installing 1.5.4, the capability to save drawings
as 2D graphics from Google 7 & 8 returned.

2D graphic export is a critical function of the free version of Google Sketchup
7 and 8 -- it basically allows the production of plans, drawing, and image
files from SketchUp. It is essential functionality.

Without it, files can only be produced via an external screen capture program
at low resolution. That cripples this program's usefulness as a CAD or
illustration production tool.
