In reply to Rygle:

CorelDRAW files:
UniConvertor doesn't handle CorelDRAW files earlier than version 7. CDR7 means version 7, so those ought to work. But unless the extension fails for files that UniConvertor can successfully convert on the command line, then this is not a problem with the extension.

UniConvertor-based formats appearing in the open dialog even though they can't be used:
This is because you still have a copy of UniConvertor in the path. So uniconv.cmd is found, and therefore the extensions load - but they need a local copy of UniConvertor to work. Including UniConvertor in the Windows Inkscape package would obviously solve this problem. Other fixes are no doubt possible (but trickier). However, it's unlikely that the user will have UniConvertor installed unless they installed it for use with Inkscape, so rather than find a way to ignore the non-local UniConvertor installation, it would be better to find a way to use it.

Linux:
My patch shouldn't change the situation on Linux in any significant way, but this obviously needs to be tested.
