Plugin Effects
- I have absolutely no idea. Please record your success here. :)
What if it doesn't work?
- Run Inkscape from the console - Use the error messges printed to the console to diagnose the problem (very often missing dependencies) - On Windows you will have to redirect output to a text file like this: "inkscape > output.txt"
