Please add information about OS/platform and Inkscape version to the bug description; as well as details about which installer package (32bit|64bit, msi|exe|paf.exe|7z) was used.

To allow further investigation of the reported import failure on other systems, please also attach the CDR file which failed to open via UniConvertor to the bug report, thank you.

Greetings,

Closing due to lack of test case (CDR file which fails to open with UniConvertor 1.1.5).

[Michał Kozal (panaut0lordv)]

I'm providing you with file, though I'm not sure if it is the culprit.

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

Not reproduced on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.91 and trunk rev. 14495, with the attached file.
Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.5.

Weird Lamiot's bug was with 0.91.

John, Michal, could you please confirm you ran into that issue with an old Inkscape version?

The distro's Inkscape 0.91 package might have been configured and built without the dependencies for Inkscape's new internal CDR input installed - import will then fall back to UniConvertor ...

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

~suv - Yes, certainly true.

That said, it's not a bug in Inkscape, but in Uniconvertor. Particularly now that we preferably use libcdr for importing CDR files.
It's not the only Uniconvertor bug that affects Inkscape very indirectly, and I'm not sure what we should do with the reports.

Upstream report: https://github.com/sk1project/uniconvertor/issues/4

Sadly LP's remove watch doesn't seem to work with GitHub...

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

Upstream answer:
"Thank you for your reports. X7 file format is not supported yet.
Just because latest UniConvertor has been released before X7 release.
Hope we will add this feature in next UniConvertor 2.0."

@Jean Paulus - Inkscape 0.91 on Windows (at least the 32-bit version) now uses libcdr and correctly imports recent CDR files.
