I’m going to be updating the FAQ with what formats inkscape supports (all around, import/export/open/save). I know that (at least in the past) there were formats that were supported on Linux and not on Win32. Also, if possible, if there is any additional “status” info relating to the formats such as problems or features that we do or don’t support that would be helpful as well. Thanks much!
Hmm, well I don't know that it is that simple. It really depends on what is installed.
Internally, we support:
SVG Input SVG Plain Output SVG Inkscape Output Postscript Output EPS Output Povray Output Bitmap Image format Inputs (all the ones supported by GDK pixbuf, which is installation dependent)
Now, the Postscript isn't great, and the EPS is built on the Postscript. No transparency is the big one for most people.
The external ones are all built on having some external program to use for the format.
SVGZ Input -- requires gzip SVGZ Ouput -- requires gzip Dia Input -- requires Dia EPS Input -- requires Ghostscript and Postscript Input EPSI Output -- requires to ps2epsi and Postscript Output GIMP Gradient Input -- no dependencies PS Input -- requires pstoedit and Sketch Input Sketch Input -- requires sketch Text Input -- requires Perl and SVG.pm (right Bryce?) WMF Input -- requires wmf2svg
Also, I haven't used it, but I believe that Spalah provides for Flash output. The .inx file isn't distributed with Inkscape.
