Re: [Inkscape-devel] Can't get the SWF output working anymore

6 Jun 2008


      Thanks, Ted!
I can't find any extension-errors.log. I'm using windows xp and I have Inkscape 0.46 that I normally
downloaded from Inkscape.org. Is there some kind of developer version with errorlogs?
Ok. Now I got the SWF saving option to show up in saving dialog, but it still won't work. Even the
SWF file is outputted, but it's empty. It seems that pdf2swf doesn't receive the pdf file.
swf_output.inx

         <helper_extension>org.inkscape.output.pdf.via_gs_on_win32</helper_extension>
     </script>
</inkscape-extension>
pdf2swf.cmd
---------------------------------------
pdf2swf.exe %1 "%~dp1%~n1.swf"
pause
I recall that you adviced me in this kind of problem before, but I can't get this to work. I tried
everything I could. No success.
Saving as PDF works great. Also pdf2swf.cmd works great with drag'n'drop and with command line. So
the problems seems to be why pdf2swf.exe isn't receiving the pdf file.

Can anybody explain why I can't get the SWF output extension working or even it to show in saving 
dialog.
Have you looked at your extensions errors log?
~/.inkscape/extension-errors.log
That might have information for you.
