Is there a chance to get the Dia input extension working in Inkscape Portable?
Extension "Dia Input" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency: type: executable location: path string: dia description: In order to import Dia files, Dia itself must be installed. You can get Dia at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
It would be nice if it would recognize Dia Portable when found.
The relevant lines I see from share/extensions/dia.inx are:
dia2svg.sh exists in the source repository, but not in Windows (because sh files have no value on Windows, so they're not included).

Seems like they just export the *.dia to *.svg and open that. Well, guess I could do that on my own using the Dia GUI.
I mean the -n, --export="...", -t svg.

Dia synopsis:
It just occurred to me that I have dia installed and so could check it myself, the usage looks to be correct. Could you test my suggestion? If it works, I'll proceed with updating it in the Inkscape repository (probably next weekend).

but I have no clue how to configure PAL.
All you need to do is append the dia/bin directory to the PATH. You can do that by putting a line
PATH=%PATH%;X:\PortableApps\DiaPortable\DiaPortable\App\Dia\bin
in the[Environment]
section of App\AppInfo\Launcher\InkscapePortable.ini, or you can just set it in a console and then run InkscapePortable from it.I am a Christian and a developer and moderator here.

dia2svg.sh is included in Inkscape Portable, other *.sh as well.
No it doesn't. No they don't.

This file, and other *.sh files, are included at X:\PortableApps\InkscapePortable\App\Inkscape\share\extensions
However, that doesn't mean they are used.
Ah, I've found out why now. They're not in the current release of Inkscape Portable, but presumably they were in a previous release; App\Inkscape\share\extensions is one of the directories which is preserved on upgrade.

It still complains about missing local Dia install.
