Error when saving as WMF

[Urop]

OS: Win XP, SP3

I'm trying to save a simple SVG file with a gradient (attached) as WMF. When I do so I get a zero byte file and an error message. I have tried with the 0.48 stable and the latest development release (R9984) and get the same error. The error message is as follows. (I've replaced the install directory by "{INSTALL DIR}":

I think this is a uniconvertor bug so I've reported it on the uniconvertor bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/sk1/issues/detail?id=20

More likely a duplicate of Bug #655289 “Saving Copy as WMF is broken”

I've a solution on Ubuntu :

- first, download http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-sk1libs-0.9.1_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb
     open with gdebi and install
- then install http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-uniconvw-1.1.5_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb
- and install http://sk1project.org/dc.php?target=python-uniconvertor-1.1.5_0ubuntu1_10.04_amd64.deb

it seams to work !
