Is the EPS import functionality available in the Windows build? I couldn't get .39 or .41 to open .eps files.

Inkscape supports a variety of input formats using external tools, where it runs the program for you and puts the output into the Inkscape window. We call these Inkscape Scripts. In order for Inkscape to use these external programs they must be installed on your computer and in a place that Inkscape can find them. In order to get a list of which utilities Inkscape can't find look at the file extension-errors.log which is in Inkscape's preferences directory ($HOME/.inkscape/ on Unix clones).
Aha. In my case it was:
Extension "EPS Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: executable location: path string: gs
However, I _do_ have Ghostscript installed. Is that what "gs" refers to?
I think maybe it would be handy if the "One or more extensions failed to load" dialog box had a button to launch the error log directly, so you don't have to go digging for the log. Also, it might be useful for the dialog to have a short list of the titles of the extensions it couldn't load, a la:
* EPS Input * GIMP Gradients * Grid etc.
To me, that makes it a little more user friendly.
