Hi, when I run your extension, I get the following error (My current version of Inkscape is 0.91 and I am running it on Windows 7 / 64 bit):

Same problem here for me, on Windows 10x64

@carlodri Is the file name really long? Please try shortening t to see if that helps

commented

This error probably does not refer to the filename of the inkscape file or the output file. Shortening the file name and path did not help.

Thanks @alexander233 Unfortunately I don't have a windows machine to debug/fix this, so I will have to rely on someone from the community to make a pull request to fix this

commented

could be related to this point, i.e. a max number of characters allowed in the shell commands
