Hi Ryan and Molumen,
the feature depends of gnome-vfs. So, before including gnome-vfs and using its functions, I'm using the #ifdef approach. But I've forgotten that I should show import/export to/from OCAL in the File menu only if gnome-vfs is available. I fixed it on Sunday. But I forgot to do the same with the preferences dialog =( .... I'll fix it
Good attention to detail there - yes, it should disappear if gnome-vfs is not available. Make sure to mention this in Inkscape's README, and maybe one or two other prominant locations like the wiki, so users will be able to find out why it's not present. Make sure the ReleaseNotes have a complete entry as well.
When using Linux, you have to install gnome-vfs and configure Inkscape again, but I'm afraid gnome-vfs can't work with Windows. I've searched about that in gnome-vfs documentation and I didn't find anything, but I'm almost sure about it. Could we find another library and use it when building in Windows? Is it possible?
That's not a bad thought, but it would also be worthwhile to inquire with the gnome folks on any chance of getting gnome-vfs ported to Windows.
