Comment 38 for bug 176750

The error messages that prkos reports in her post of 2008-03-12 seem to show that the Python script calls Inkscape with a truncated filename, since the temporary SVG file shouldn't be C:\DOCUME~1\m. (It should be something like %tmpdir%\ink_ext_XXXXXX.svgKBY67S, where the last 6 characters are random, and %tmpdir% is the temporary file directory, usually of the form C:\DOCUME~1\<username>\LOCALS~1\Temp.)

Perhaps someone who is experiencing this problem could try the following: in your Inkscape directory, type

  set TMPDIR=C:\

at the command prompt, and then

  inkscape.exe

and then try the envelope effect. Does it work? If it still doesn't work, what does my modified version of summersnight.py report?
