Inkscape

error when exporting in plt

Asked by Jon Hinde

I am using windows XP, inkscape 0.47 and uniconvertor 1.1.5. When I save as a plt file I get the following message:
UniConvertor failed:
ERROR: unrecognized extension .plt
I have tried converting an svg file to plt using just uniconvertor and it works. Any ideas why I can't export to plt in Inkscape?

Seems like Inkscape 0.47 is still using the bundled UniConvertor 1.1.3 which doesn't support PLT files. Did you install the new import/export extension for Inkscape that comes with UniConvertor 1.1.5?

So you are user of Inkscape for Windows

UniConvertor has been Inkscape-friendly from day one, being started as a project at the request of Inkscape team back in the olden days (well, three years ago, actually, but it does feel like ages ago).

Windows version of Inkscape used to be shipped with internal copy of UniConvertor, since it contained its own copy of Python anyway. However this copy is ancient and broken. To make you Windows people happy and joyful UniConvertor now ships a small script that patches some files in Inkscape's installation so that Inkscape would use external standalone version of UniConvertor. If you want details, read a text document called "About Inkscape patch" accessible from UC's folder in the Start menu.

I have reinstalled the patch and inkscape now seems to be handling .plt exports.
