How to use the extension after installing it?

I can't find svg2ico in the extension menu

I tried to use it, too. I could find a new output format in the Save as... menu. Save as type: "Win Icon File (*.ico)" However, I get an exception when I try to use it: "IOError: cannot identify image file 'C:\Users\FMoricz\AppData\Local\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXX.svgAOUFJ0'". I've checked it, the original SVG is copied to the correct path. Maybe the extension cannot recognize all types of SVG files? The original one was created with Inkscape.

I am having the same problem. here is my Inkscape version:

1.0 (4035a4fb49, 2020-05-01)

and here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "svg2ico.py", line 79, in e.saveToFilename(args.o) File "svg2ico.py", line 61, in saveToFilename img = Image.open(self.ifName) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2818, in open raise IOError("cannot identify image file %r" % (filename if filename else fp)) OSError: cannot identify image file '/tmp/ink_ext_XXXXXX.svg6PJON0'

I am running this on Manjaro Cinnamon

Hi, this still seems to be an issue.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users**\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\svg2ico\svg2ico.py", line 79, in e.saveToFilename(args.o) File "C:\Users**\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions\svg2ico\svg2ico.py", line 61, in saveToFilename img = Image.open(self.ifName) File "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\lib\python3.10\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 3147, in open raise UnidentifiedImageError( PIL.UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file 'C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\Temp\ink_ext_XXXXXX.svgFJRVS1'

As @ginopc mentioned, version 0.2 of this extension isn't compatible with Inkscape 1.0 and later. I added issue #5 and pull request #6 to update the code for Inkscape 1.0.
