I can't vouch for the content, but I reworded some parts that sounded awkward to me. Two questions:
1) Are they really called Inkscape Scripts? In most cases, aren't they actually programs created by other people - making them neither Scripts, nor Inkscape?
2) I have never tried Inkscape on Windows, and I don't see any mention of Windows specific issues here. Would it be appropriate to include them?
Slightly Modified Version:
How do I get additional input formats (EPS, Sketch ...) to work in Inkscape ?
Inkscape supports a variety of input formats using external conversion programs, called Inkscape Scripts. In order for Inkscape to use these external programs, they must be installed on your computer, and in a place where Inkscape can find them. Every time you start Inkscape, it generates a file extension-errors.log (located in $HOME/.inkscape/ on Unix clones) that describes the program it was not able to find. If a program is listed in this file, you will not be able to make that conversion.
As an example, here is an error in the extension-errors.log file:
Extension "Windows Metafile Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: executable location: path string: wmf2svg
This message describes an error with the loading of WMF files. It says that Inkscape was looking for an "executable" (or program) in your computer's path, and the name of that executable is "wmf2svg".
Another common error is that one extension is dependent on another, so without that one working properly, the current one fails. An error of that type looks like this:
Extension "Postscript Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: extension location: path string: org.inkscape.input.sk
Sometimes finding the individual dependencies can be difficult. Work is currently being done to improve this area in Inkscape. You can expect future versions to be more helpful in finding these external dependencies.
