Re: [Inkscape-devel] opening .cdr file
Hi, I need to open a .cdr file, the file was created in CorelDraw GS X5. Inkscape can't open it. Do you have any tip/trick?
Ask the guy who gave you the file to save it in an older version that Uniconvertor can manage or even better, in a format better suited for exchange (SVG or at least PDF). That's probably the same they would ask you if you send them a Corel Draw X5 file and they would have Corel X4.
And, as a personal remark, I think it's more reasonable to ask closed source software to have good support of files that have open specifications than expecting free software to support closed source formats. ;-)

Actually CDR X5 support is an issue of nearest feature. Currently our team resolves sK1 release tasks. But the next iteration will be dedicated CDR support improving.
Also we plan providing export into CDR format because CorelDRAW has limited capacities in foreign format importing. For example there is no way correctly pass CMYK colors into CorelDRAW because it has an ugly Adobe format importers.
You can ask the guy to geve you the file in Corel X4 or X3 - Uniconvertor can manage those formats but the best variant is to send you as AI even AI CS5 - Inkscape can open AI CS5 and everything is preserved well Radial and Linear gradients are just perfect. This is managed by the Uniconvertor also I think.
