Re: [Inkscape-devel] [FWD: [Inkscape-docs] Inkscape File formats]
Hi,
Sorry It's taken so long to get back to you. You asked about a format list after my last emial. well here they are. Now I think I have the lists correct, but it seemed everytime I looked through the Open and Save dialogs I saw something new, so I've been through the dialogs several times refining the lists. To save space I will only add the discrepncy lists to the email. If you want the whole lot just let me know.
FORMATS THAT CAN ONLY BE OPENED IN LINUX .outline .ps .eps .cdr .txt .icns
FORMATS THAT CAN ONLY BE SAVED IN LINUX .ai .epsi .dxf (AutoCAD DXF) .xcf
FORMATS MENTIONED IN MANUAL THAT AREN'T IN EITHER wIN OR LINUX .dia
FORMATS NOT IN MANUAL THAT CAN BE OPENED/SAVED BY WIN OR LINUX .emf .wmf .wpg .gif .cdr .txt .icns .gpl .zip
Now as I said in my original email the final list I am happy to add to the manual, it's just here for general info.
Cheers,
John Curwood

Hi everyone,
I'm Currently working on the Floss Manuals Inkscape manual. At the moment I am editing the working with files chapter and have a few questions about file formats. I originally posted my question to the Inkscape docs list and was advised to ask my question of the Inkscape-dev list. My original posting is below.
I look forward to any info you may have.
You were also asked to provide list of file formats of interest :)

At least some of the formats you mentioned are not available on Windows unless uniconvertor is installed. This is now included by default in the 0.47 development branch. To download a copy, go to http://inkscape.modevia.com and look in the Win32 folder. There are also daily builds for Ubuntu available at http://launchpad.net/~inkscape-nightly/+archive
I believe that WMF used to be unavailable on Linux because it is primarily a Windows format - not sure about the current status of that format.
I would suggest that you develop your manual with version 0.47 in mind. You will probably find that 0.47 is closer across platforms.

In fact we have already branched 0.46 manual and we are working on 0.47 now :)
