As you can see on libcdr output some objects are absent, some artifacts are observed and there is no correct color management. Also libcdr skips all structural elements: groups, layers etc. So import result is not so perfect and requires a lot of manual fixing.
Fixing support for groups and layers it is nothing special. We've been making such changes on a daily basis. You've got to provide a more essential reason to stick to UC such a being able to maintain the project :)
libcdr/relab teams have done a good job porting UniConvertor code for LibreOffice
Wrong :) We haven't touched UniConvertor code. libcdr is written from scratch and inherits project's structure from libvisio. Could you please start checking facts before making bold statements?
To achieve more advanced features we have started deep sK1 Project refactoring. As I see in source code the libcdr reproduces similar architecture like in UniConvertor 1.x importer. So I could suppose the same development issues for next iterations of libcdr which we are resolving now.
Yes, I believe you could suppose that :)
Cairo rendering have been implemented for UniConvertor 2.0 So import preview is a resolved feature for all supported format including CMX/CCX/CDRX which are main Corel clipart formats.
If it doesn't exist in a public SVN, then it doesn't exist at all :) Personally, I'm not interested in wonderful plans. I'd like some real code, thank you.
Summing up all the issues I would propose to compare actual libcdr and UniConvertor 2.0 on LGM2012 and after that to choice the best result for Inkscape end users. Btw now we are working for export into CDR format and it seems this feature will be useful for SVG application in prepress.
Fine with me.
