0.47 installation on Windows WP does not work properly

Postby macti » Mon Dec 07, 2009 6:40 pm

Hello,

I installed the following version:

Inkscape 0.47 r22583, built Nov 21 2009

I did not uninstall 0.46 inkscape (maybe its not possible to have both 0.46 plus 0.47 installed?)

Problems:

1. Wacom Tablet does not work
Even so I changed the settings in "file"-> "input devices"

2. Inkscape generates the following "extension-errors.log"-file:
"Extension "Dia Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
Dependency:
type: executable
location: extensions
string: dia2svg.sh
description: The dia2svg.sh script should be installed with your Inkscape distribution. If you do not have it, there is likely to be something wrong with your Inkscape installation.

Extension "Dia Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
Dependency:
type: executable
location: path
string: dia
description: In order to import Dia files, Dia itself must be installed. You can get Dia at http://live.gnome.org/Dia

Extension "DXF Output" failed to load because a dependency was not met.
Dependency:
type: executable
location: extensions
string: ps2dxf.sh"

etc.

Can you help me to get 0.47 running properly?

I had the same tablet problem, and went to File>Input Devices. Apparently by default it was set to disabled under tablet pressure stylus. I had to change it to screen mode for it to work properly.

Thanks Klomp123; I had almost given up to get my tablet working.
Setting screen mode to "screen" did not work at first. I had to toggle the device settings back and forth to finally get it activated.
It seems buggy.
