Bug Description

When I save an loaded image using "Save as .." menu option for exporting to .PLT format on my Windows Vista PC I get a dialog window with this text: "Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected."

Additional info in dialog window about Uniconvertor:

UniConvertor failed:

@Alvin - do you know if Inkscape 0.47 now includes UniConvertor 1.1.4 or still 1.1.3? AFAIK PLT support was only added in version 1.1.4 which would explain the failure.
I cannot reproduce it with a similar file (containing a simple path and a linked bitmap (raster) image): the image is silently dropped and the vector object correctly exported (besides the known scaling issue) with UniConvertor 1.1.5 prerelease. Same when exporting to *.hpgl: the bitmap image is ignored and all vector information is correctly exported.

@Robert - your file doesn't contain any vector information - I doubt that a plotter could handle raster images that haven't been vectorized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPGL). So even if UniConvertor supported PLT on win32 the file 'wk.plt' would be empty.

    <image
       y="353.36218"
       x="238.85715"
       id="image2826"
       height="358"
       width="368"
       xlink:href="file:///C:/Bert/wk.bmp" />

If the same error happens when exporting to *.wmf of *.sk1 - please attach the bitmap file as well so we can test it on other platforms (Inkscape 0.47 uses UniConvertor as helper application to export to *.plt, *.wmf, *.sk1). It could possibly be related to
Bug #487410 “export to EMF or WMF omits images from graphic”
Bug #492904 “Won't save as .wmf file with .jpg inserted in drawing”

- yes,currently, the Windows version of Inkscape ships with Python 2.5 and Uniconvertor 1.1.3
- these would both need to be upgraded to Python 2.6 and uniconvertor 1.1.4 to use the .plt output
- one alternative that should work is .hpgl which is really the same as .plt
- however, it needs to be _vector only_.

Confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.47. But my error message is a bit simpler:

UniConvertor failed:
