Hi, just overnight it seems a problem has developed with one of my logos, the visual bounding box which I never previously changed is now it seems taking into account a filter, I've changed that to be a geometric box, but when I go to export png the export takes only the visual bounding box as the size of the object which is not good! anyone got any clues please? screen shots attached so you can see the difference. I must be missing something basic, or it was something that changed during the recent update.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the latest version 1.1 onto my Windows computer. It also does it on every version of this particular logo I have, hence the thought it was a filter but I have no idea where to change that setting.
Attached are svg's of the logo and two screen shots, the first as a visual bounding box, the 2nd as a geometric, you can see the export properties and height/width doesn't change.
We´re not sure if that´s a bug or missing feature - but the only workaround that´s quick and reliable is to draw a rectangle (with enabled snapping to bounding box edges) over the logo - select all parts and go Objects->Clip-Set and export this selection.
I´m puzzled when it´s a bug and not reported as I find it pretty much basic to export filtered objects without the expanding filter size.
@polygon, this literally happened overnight with no changes from my part, previously I've had no issues and this logo has been in use for over a year now. That's why I got so confused by it, thanks for the answer though I'll give that a go and I'm sure it will work, but why I'd need to I've no idea.
I´ll used Filters->Bump->Diffuse Light - After I rotated the object the filter grows its bounding box. When you rotate just the nodes with the node-tool it´s not as large - but visible and not what we want. I wrote a bug report though - could apply just for this filter - who knows. You can check the filter editor for the size.
Either crop it after export or clip it with a rectangle like I said above.

Help is super appreciated
