So I have the PSD extension for Inkscape, and I am able to import all of the shapes in my psd file. However, the text from the file doesn't show up. I've tried to import it with the text layers as text and as rasterized with no luck. None of the fonts have any layer properties in Photoshop.

Any suggestions?

I'm not familiar with that extension. Where can I find it?

It's probably better to contact the maker of that extension, especially if it's not packed with Inkscape. But some of us might be able to figure it out if we can install it.

Im not sure what you are saying here. First you say the text doesnt show up. Then you say the layer properties dont show up...
With layer properties, do you mean the layer styles, like bevels, dropshadow, glows and stuff ?

I dont think Inkscape is able to display layerstyles, because it has none.
The bevels and shadows of Inkscape are very different filters and probably dont translate automatically into their PS counterparts.

EDIT:
is this the plug-in you are talking about ?
