Export as .WMF gives Errors, What to do?
I just downloaded and installed Inkscape a few days ago, and my main reason was to export to wmf to import into my Machine Embroidery programs. However, when I save a line art as .wmf, Python stops working and gives me a unicode error. Specifics below:
---------------------------------------- python.exe has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
After I click the Close program button I get an Inkscape error box that says:
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. UniConvertor failed: rest of box is blank ---------------------------------------------
I did a little research (i'm not a programmer just an end user), and it seems the bug has been confirmed but I can't really find what has been done about it, or what I'm supposed to do now. Can anyone help?
Thank you, Gina

Can you provide an example file in SVG format that causes the error when saving as WMF?

Sorry, here is the file. I think I sent it to the wrong email address for the list the first time, it got bounced back.

are you running Windows 7?

I'm fairly certain that this is a Windows 7 issue, and I don't remember there being a fix for it. It happens on my machine as well. Inkscape uses Uniconvertor to do this conversion. As a workaround, you could download and install Uniconvertor directly, available from (I believe 1.1.5 is the latest version):

Hi all!
I thought I'd help by looking at this issue, hope that's okay :)
I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654
A. 1. Opened drawing-2.svg in Inkscape GUI 2. Saved As drawing-2.wmf 3. File-->Open-->drawing-2.wmf - results: object was oriented at lower left corner *Test A successful*
B. 1. Closed & reopened Inkscape GUI 2. File-->Open--> drawing-2.wmf *Test B successful*
C. 1. Right-clicked on drawing-2.wmf file icon in file system list, selected open with Inkscape *Test C successful*
D. 1. Closed Inkscape GUI 2. Opened terminal & issued 'inkscape -f drawing-2.wmf' - received error message: "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected." in the error message box was: "UniConvertor failed: ERROR: drawing-2.wmf file is not found! UniConvertor 1.1.4 USAGE: uniconvertor [OPTIONS] [INPUT FILE] [OUTPUT FILE] Converts one vector graphics format to another using sK1 engine. sK1 Team (http://sk1project.org), copyright (C) 2007-2009 by Igor E.

Confirmed that file was in directory, opened Inscape GUI, File-->Open-->drawing-2.svg (confirmed directory location). File open successful *Test D failed at step 3.*
Hope this helps...

Hi all!
Current UniConvertor 1.1.5 version converts the file correctly. So just try using 1.1.5 version to resolve this issue.
