I'm running Inkscape 0.43 on Windows XP SP2

I have attempred to find whatever log file Inkscape might be writing, but can=
 not find any such log files, so I do not know what is happening.

Is there a command line option that turns on logging relavent to extensions?

I am trying to write a custom SVG output filter. I started by making a copy o=
f the svgz_output.inx extension.

My extension just does nott not appear in the Save As dialog.

I do have Perl installed. I use it for other purposes. It is in the PATH by d=
efault, so any application should be able to find it.

I have paired down my INX file to a very simple test:

<inkscape-extension>
    <name>Extension Test Output</name>
    <id>org.inkscape.output.test</id>
    <dependency type=3D"extension">org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape</dependen=
cy>
    <dependency type=3D"executable">perl.exe</dependency>
    <output>
        <extension>.test</extension>
        <mimetype>text/x.test</mimetype>
        <filetypename>Extension Test(*.test)</filetypename>
        <filetypetooltip>Extension Test</filetypetooltip>
        <dataloss>FALSE</dataloss>
    </output>
    <script>
        <command reldir=3D"path">perl -e "print join(' ',@ARGV)"</command>
        <helper_extension>org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape</helper_extension>
    </script>
</inkscape-extension>

Any idea why this isn't even appearing? Or at least how I can get usable erro=
r messages to help me find out?

It isn't appearing because the dependencies you specified were not met.

<inkscape-extension>
     <name>Extension Test Output</name>
     <id>org.inkscape.output.test</id>
     <dependency
type="extension">org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape</dependency>
     <dependency type="executable" location="path">perl.exe</dependency>
     <output>
         <extension>.test</extension>
         <mimetype>text/x.test</mimetype>
         <filetypename>Extension Test(*.test)</filetypename>
         <filetypetooltip>Extension Test</filetypetooltip>
         <dataloss>FALSE</dataloss>
     </output>
     <script>
         <command>perl -e "print join(' ',@ARGV)"</command>
	<helper_extension>org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape</helper_extension>
     </script>
</inkscape-extension>

I think Aaron already answered the other questions, but I want to
mention that there is an error log that should have something when an
extension fails to load.  I'm not sure where it gets placed in Windows
though.  The name of the file is "extension-errors.log", you should be
able to search for it.
