Hi everyone,

we're looking for people to try and open their legacy Corel, Illustrator
and other files with Inkscape 1.0 (or to look things up in the code and
tell us if they *should* be working).

Previously, these formats were (also) handled via extensions, and
uniconvertor was required for it to work.

Specifically, we're asking about opening:

* Adobe Illustrator 8.0 and below (UC) (*.ai) (I think those could be
renamed to pdf and would then open, but I have no example files to try
it out)

* Corel DRAW Compressed Exchange files (UC) (*.ccx)

* Corel DRAW 7-X4 files (UC) (*.cdr) [cdr imports, but this specific
version?]

* Corel DRAW 7-13 template files (UC) (*.cdt)

* Computer Graphics Metafile files (UC) (*.cgm)

* Corel DRAW Presentation Exchange files (UC) (*.cmx)

* HP Graphics Language Plot file [AutoCAD] (UC) (*.plt)

* Dia Diagram (*.dia)

Please reply at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/issues/1213 if you can
help with any of these.

(we need the info for the file bindings and for the release notes)

Hope someone can help,
 Maren
