I don't believe the extentions are powerful enough or stable enough yet, they work very well for the odd export/inport filter but for editing objects? for managing svg in particular ways? for having extenstable options like drop downs ect?

I think we should concentrate on getting the extentions to have a nice round api in perl/python/myscripting, where inkscape knows to pass in one objects svg fragment and knows to expect a fragment back, then it knows that to edit that 'object' it calls back to the scripts in a certain way (obviouly what classes as an object being held in the inkscape namespace and all the objects being valid svg).

As someone suggested, my problem of effects not working on Windows was indeed due to another Python installed in the PATH. After I removed that, it picked up Inkscape's own python and all worked fine.

Therefore, I suggest that we do three things:

1. Designate this as a mustfix bug for the release: Inkscape must

always use its own python, not something in PATH. Certainly I'm not the only one with Python installed on Windows, so this issue is bound to happen to other people.

2. Enable extensions/effects by default and remove the prefs setting.

I don't know of anything that prevents us from doing that.

3. Release a 0.44pre0.

Thoughts?
