I have actually checked it, but I couldn't use it, since I'm on Windows. I assume pdf2svg and pdfcrop dependencies are the following:

Yes, those are the dependencies. I didn't think to check if they were available on Windows; sorry. (But I think it should be possible to get them to run on windows without too much problem.)
Anyway, this version (with pstoedit) works good. Finally I don't have to manually scale all the equations. Now the only thing, which is missing is, that double clicking the equation would open the window for extension settings so that you could basically edit the equation...
Yes, that would be nice, but I think it's a more general Inkscape issue: Inkscape would have to store information about how an object was created (which extension, what parameters, etc.) I could see this being useful for several other plugins, as well.
However, I was wondering if it was possible to simply use Inkscape's internals to import PDF generated by LaTeX. That would leave only LaTeX as dependency.
One problem is the fonts. When I try to open a LaTeX'd PDF document in Inkscape, I get totally wrong fonts. This is probably fixable on my system, but I don't think we want to count on people having the appropriate version of the Computer Modern fonts installed.y
Otherwise a really nice improvement.
Thanks!
