I've tested all the various file export options under the Save As command. Would the relavent experts for each type please review my comments/questions below? All test were done with Fedora 9 Linux and 0.46+svn updated within the past couple of days. Thanks.
I am not a relevant extension expert but here are my findings anyway: (tested with Inkscape 0.46+devel r21939 on OS X 10.5.7)
.dfx: Generic AutoCAD export failed to load (see .ai).
1) missing helper_extension 'org.inkscape.output.ps' (related bug #407215 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/407215) proposed fix: in dxf_output.inx s/org.inkscape.output.ps/org.inkscape.print.ps.cairo/
the 'AutoCAD DXF (*.dxf)'output extension is loaded and creates DXF output if pstoedit is installed, though I cannot get pstoedit to create DXF files that can be re-imported in Inkscape (on OS X 10.5.7, pstoedit 3.45).
.ai: Missing. Failed to load message in extension-errors.log (same error for DXF and ESPI). Works in v0.46.
1) missing helper_extension 'org.inkscape.output.ps' proposed fix: in ai_output.inx and epsi_output.inx s/org.inkscape.output.ps/org.inkscape.print.ps.cairo/ 2) ai_output.inx: 'spawn'-error with <command reldir="path">gs -q -dNODISPLAY -dSAFER ps2ai.ps</command> (related bug #167472 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/167472) proposed quick fix: create a shell wrapper script like ps2eps.sh or ps2dxf.sh
.svgz Broken in v0.47. Works in v0.46
1) redundant extension: SVGZ input and output is now handled by internal extension. proposed fix: remove svgz_output.inx and svgz_input.inx 2) If not removed, svgz_output.inx needs to be fixed: 'spawn'-error with <command reldir="path">gzip -c</command> (related bug #167472 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/167472) proposed quick fix: create a shell wrapper script like ps2eps.sh or ps2dxf.sh
