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.
Wait people, the article was about the OpenDocument format, not OOo.
They are different animals. And OpenDocument woudl be hurt a lot if people start associating it with OpenOffice.org. That's part of the reasonf or the name change. OpenDocument is a separate thing, independent of OOo, and bigger than OOo or KDE or any current supporter. Yes, the OOo format was used as a starting point for OpenDocument, but OpenDocument didn't stay there. I has been expanded, modified and edited with the goal of being a neutral, extensive format that different applications can support.
