Hello, fresh thread. I installed numpy from source (*) and put a link to it into the inkscape extensions folder. Okay, so the "no module named numpy" errors have gone, but now I get this:
** (inkscape:4250): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
** (inkscape:4251): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
** (inkscape:4252): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
** (inkscape:4253): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
So, no actual result, just more mystery!

Ignore those. If you get this far it likely works. I've not tried this particular extension but I think it uses the same interaction as envelope. When it is called it requires a 4 point path and an arbitrary path in the selection. It deforms the arbitrary path to fit inside the 4 point path. You'll have to play with selection order to decide which comes first.

Yeah - I am following Tav's short tut in his manual, using a star and a four-point rectangle with it's nodes moved a little. I have tried all kinds of combinations of selection and converting to paths, but so far there is no perspective/envelope effect to be seen. At most the star distorts and becomes massive and in no way resembles a star or what it should look like (mapped to the rectangle).
I guess it's broken for now.
