Open stencils file .VSS .VSD

I dont think so, id say its planed for the future.

Hi,

To be able to view .vsd files in Ubuntu, I think you need to install both vsdviewer and sk1:

Here is the installation procedure for sk1:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install subversion tcl8.5 tcl8.5-dev tk8.5 tk8.5-dev python-cairo-dev

sudo aptitude install python-imaging python-imaging-tk python-reportlab

sudo aptitude install python-liblcms python2.4-dev python2.5-dev python2.6-dev

sudo aptitude install alien liblcms liblcms-dev libcairo libcairo-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

svn co https://sk1.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sk1/trunk/sK1 sK1

cd sK1

sudo python setup.py install

Run sk1 to launch the program

You can find more info about vsdviewer here:

http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/privat/vsdviewer-0.0.13.tar.gz/

You can find more info about sk1 here:

http://www.sk1project.org/

You can download vsdviewer here:

http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/privat/vsdviewer-0.0.13.tar.gz

I have not yet tested or installed vsdviewer, because I do not have any Visio files to test.

Please let us know if this helps,

Hi Mark
Thank You fo the answer. all the installation step have been done successfully.
This is what happen when i run vsdviewer:
$./vsdviewer
When i run: "vsdviewer" this is the output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./vsdviewer", line 26, in <module>
    import vsdoc
  File "/home/lrinetti/DOWNLOAD/SOFTWARE-APPLICAZIONI/VISIO viewer Ubuntu/vsdviewer/vsdoc.py", line 24, in <module>
    import vsdfuncs
  File "/home/lrinetti/DOWNLOAD/SOFTWARE-APPLICAZIONI/VISIO viewer Ubuntu/vsdviewer/vsdfuncs.py", line 23, in <module>
    import gsf
"ImportError: No module named gsf
$
Whan can i do to correct the "ImportError: No module named gsf" problem ?

About sk1, when i start /usr/bin/sk1 , the sK1 v.0.9.1 (prerelease) GUI appears.
When i try to open an .vss or .vsd files, this message appears:
An error occurred: unrecognized file type

Thank's for any suggestion about this behaviour of vsdviewer and sk1.
