Anyway, to summarize:
- Ditch ill2svg.pl. It sucks.
- Encourage scribus to implement -i / -e and add it as an extension. Scribus kicks ass.
I agree. Scribus really needs command line facilities. But for those who can't or don't want to install all of Scribus, perhaps we can keep ill2svg as the last resort.
Yes, presumably there are at least a few cases where ill2svg works...
As a minimum though, we should make it clear that the Adobe Illustrator import feature simply _won't work_ on version 8 or later files. Here is a patch that does this... what do you think?
