confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape .48. I have Perl installed, but no .txt file extension available as an import. The workaround is to delete the following line from the file txt2svg.inx:

<check reldir="extensions">txt2svg.pl</check>

With the new inx file the .txt extension appears just below the sk1 extension. When I now try to load a .txt file I get the message:

Can't locate SVG.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at txt2svg.pl line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at txt2svg.pl line 6.

This could be fixed by installing the SVG module, which I don't feel like doing.
