 Priority:  Normal              |  Milestone:
Component:  ports               |    Version:  2.8.1
 Keywords:  export only active  |       Port:  xfig
--------------------------------+--------------------
 Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.1.1, macports , xfig @3.2.9_0, fig2dev @3.2.9_0

 Create a figure with items on layers 50,51.  It doesn't matter what items;
 I used circles.  Save.

 Deselect layer 51 (leaving only layer 50 active).  Export->Export only
 active->Export.

 Now a popup says:
     Error message from spawned process: fig2dev: help for -D option:
     -D +rangelist  means keep only depths in rangelist.
     -D -rangelist  means keep all depths but those in rangelist.
     Rangelist can be a list of numbers or ranges of numbers, e.g.:
        10,40,55,60:70,99

 By intercepting the fig2dev command, I see that the arguments have an
 additional "-D":
    -L eps -D -D -51 -F -n testing.fig

 The following command works fine on the command line:
    -L eps -D -51 -F -n testing.fig testing.eps
