Comment 6 for bug 642417

    Running Windows XP and Inkscape 0.48. I am unable to successfully run this extension because I do not have gimp installed. However, if I force it to run anyways by removing the 'gimp' dependency from the .inx file, then I get the message below, which is similar to the original reported error.
    If I navigate to the directory shown in the error message, I find it contains 2 files: One file is a .PNG file which is a screen shot of my .svg image. The other file is called junk_from_gimp.txt, and contains the error message:

'gimp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

- could you check your directory shown in your error message to see if it contains a similar error message?
- when you go into DOS or CLI and type in 'gimp' from any directory, does gimp run?
