Hi Xisco - I can somehow not grap the testfile. When clickling, I get an empty page (saying https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=142882)

Yep, because you're browser is opening the file directly.
You can either  right click on it - save file, or follow the steps in the description.

1. New blank Draw file
2. Export as .SVG
Comment 4 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2018-07-04 09:19:15 UTC
@Xisco - thanks, Yes - shouldhave see that :)

If the SVG is empty, no geometry gets imported. With no geometry, the import stops and creates no File.
I think this is as it should be, except that the error message is not fitting to this case.

What should happen with empty SVGs:
- as currently - error
- show some more meaningful message, but do not open empty Draw/Impress
- quietly open some Draw/Impress, 'guess' a document size

I am not sure...
Comment 5 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2018-07-04 09:21:01 UTC
Checked what libreoffice-6-0 did: Just opens an empty Draw. Is that the expected behaviour? Maybe we should ask UI/Design guys here...?

Let's ask
Comment 7 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2018-07-04 10:26:28 UTC
@Heiko: See comment 4 - what would you expect...?
Comment 8 V Stuart Foote 2018-07-04 13:08:17 UTC
We need an error message other than the "General Input/Output error" -- maybe "The SVG image is malformed". And that, rather than opening onto an empty Draw canvas.
Comment 9 Tomaz Vajngerl 2018-07-04 13:22:54 UTC
Opening an empty file is not an error.

Yep, I agree with Tomaz here!

No, the point is because the "empty" SVG image has no defined dimension the import filter errors opening to Draw document. The "error" is for mishandling of the image--not the resulting empty document canvas.

The svg file has well defined dimensions. It produces an area of width=210mm and height=297mm. If you open the file in a browser, you will notice, that this area is really used, because if your browser window is too small, it will generate scroll bars. And if you insert the svg file into an HTML document with a lot of text, then this area will become visible.

Currently inserting the svg file into a Writer document, does not use this area, but sets it to "2". That is an error too.

The file has an error. The attribute version="1.2" is wrong, it has to be version="1.1" (bug 105636). But the corrected file shows the same general error message and the same error, when inserting it into a Writer document.

I suggest to generate an empty page with width and height as given in the outer most svg element, even if this page has no content.
Comment 13 Heiko Tietze 2018-07-05 08:50:46 UTC
The file must be correct because you saved it before with the same tool. And that was working in 6.0 but not anymore in 6.2.

If you get basic information from a file, generally spoken, that means you recognize it as SVG but everything else is missing, I would apply standard properties and _inform_ the user with an info bar. 

But as Regina commented that's not the issue here.
Comment 14 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2018-07-06 11:59:21 UTC
May be related to tdf#118254 - look there, TeXMaths *may* produce those empty SVGs, so it gets no loaded document in it's processing.
When looking at the comments I would say:
-> Open empty Draw with the intended dimensions
Comment 15 Roman Kuznetsov 2018-07-06 12:18:56 UTC
I agree with:
 Open empty Draw with the intended dimensions
Comment 16 Armin Le Grand (allotropia) 2018-07-11 16:25:21 UTC
Checking how this can be obtained. Bet would probably be to add a HiddenGeometryPrimitive to the SVGFilter import when there is no content, that one containing a PolygonHairlinePrimitive. That way, the Size will be correct.
For the SVGFGilter it will be necessary to avoid creating a SdrGrafObj when there is no GraphicContent, will try that.
For Reginas note in comment 12 I need to check if this may already work as intended using the above mentined HiddenGeometryPrimitive/PolygonHairlinePrimitive combination...
