Bug Description
Saving as .xcf with layers (for later use with gimp) results in an empty
file.
The following lines are output at the console:
=====
(inkscape:23647): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_utf8_collate: assertion `str2 !=
NULL' failed
Extension::Script: Unknown error for pclose
: No such file or directory
=====
I'm running inkscape 0.44 on Gentoo Linux, but the same (or similar) error
is also reported to happen with 0.43.
Edit/Additional info:
with 0.44.1, I get a dialog box saying
======
** (inkscape:10707): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is
being opened as SVG.
This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

script-fu is part of GIMP, those are gimp errors causing errors in
Inkscape
All this script/ extension/ plugin does is automate the process of opening a
SVG file in the gimp and then saving it again as XCF. GIMP can import SVG
and will give you many more options on how to control the input. I would
strongly recommend you try that workaround for now.
What version of GIMP are you using?
