It will work on Linux, MacOS and should work on Windows if LibreOffice is installed on the system running the plugin.

See this post for reasoning and details.

If interested, let me know and I am willing to take shot at it. Changes should be restricted to your ImageWriter routine (hopefully) plus a routine to make a subprocess call.

Thanks
I'm absolutely baffled how I missed seeing your post for over a year! I did experiment with using ImageMagic to convert (w|e)mf images at one point, but I can't remember why I didn't ever implement it. Times (and priorities) change, but if you ever circle back to this idea, i's be happy to include anything you come up with.
