Default options in optipng export fails

Steps to reproduce:

  • Install optipng. On Windows, download (optipng.sourceforge.net/) and place the downloaded exe in the bin folder that inkscape.exe is in, in Linux install via package manager
  • Open Inkscape
  • Open the Export PNG dialog
  • Export As
  • Change file type to Optimized PNG
  • Save

What happened?

  • Default option is minimal effort, (optimization level 0) and interlace enabled

What should have happened?

  • More friendly warning message for this case
  • Maybe change the default values if possible?
