Bug Description

Slicer Export Plugin uses commands.getstatusoutput to execute Imagemagick's convert and also inkscape. This cannot work since commands.getstatusoutput is for Unix only. On Windows subprocess.Popen is advisable.
Furthermore might the wrong convert.exe be invoked: There is likely one that's good for converting FAT filesystem to NTFS, while Imagemagick also provides a convert.exe. Apparently Python might invoke the wrong one.

This was tested with Inkscape inkscape_9747-1009082033 development build

Marking as duplicate of Bug #563722 (getstatusoutput replaced with Popen, fixed in 0.48.1). Don't hesitate to revert the report status if you're still affected with recent Inkscape versions.
