Re: [Inkscape-devel] filter for inkscape and OpenDocument

I've investigated and experimented with creating a converter that would enable support for the OpenOffice format in Inkscape. The code appears to already exist in OpenOffice, although it would be some trouble to extricate. However, this problem could be easily addressed if OpenOffice could provide a cmdline script to run their SVG export extension. I.e., a sxd2svg. Given that, we could easily add support for this file format to Inkscape.

as a disadvantage, this will require a full working copy of OpenOffice.org installed. i know Inkscape use the same method for importing other file types, but if we consider OpenOffice as a dependency, this is a *huge* one.
