Inkscape extensions not working

Question

I installed inkscape and some plugins today for my laser engraver.

I copied extension files to both directories (if i only copy one directory, extensions don't seen properly in program menu):

C:\Users\Alen Geere\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions

C:\Program Files\Inkscape\share\extensions

In program, i don't get any error when i try to open extensions. Nothing.

But when i checked the extension-error text file, i found something:

Extension "DXF Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met.

What's going on? I read about python and environment variable in windows on the web. I install python's latest version and added path info to variables. Could you help me please? Thanks.

Answer 1

It seems that the main extension file that comes with Inkscape is missing.

The easiest way to fix this without needing to do any manual copying from the Inkscape code repository is to uninstall Inkscape, then reinstall a current version from the inkscape.org website.

The extension should be put into the folder that is listed at Edit > Preferences > System > User extensions. Putting them in the /share folder will remove it when updating Inkscape.
