Wrong Uniconvertor path

Postby kleinempfaenger » Tue Oct 04, 2011 7:12 am

Hi Inkscape users,
I have a problem with Uniconvertor. Ctrl+C always pops up some messages, that uniconvertor and some pymodules can't be found. This is on Xubuntu and Inkscape from Software Center. Uniconvertor package is installed, as I could see in Synaptic, but I think Inkscape is set up to search in the wrong path, as home/username/.uniconvertor doesn't exist. How can I tell Inkscape the right direction?
Thanks, kl

It's a known issue with Inkscape on Linux if certain helper applications are running in the background which monitor the clipboard (e.g. download managers), and more recently with the latest version of Xfce 4.8 (which apparently includes a minimal clipboard manager which interferes with Inkscape). Some workarounds are described in comments of the bug report:
