Hello all,
this is my first post on this list. I'm not sure whether this is the place to ask, but couldn't find a better one.
I chose to use inkscape for modifying vector-graphic-PDFs and convert them to PNGs and also to a varienty of PDFs with extra information in a background batch job. Basically this works well with official Inkscape 1.1 (c68e22c387, 2021-05-23) and the results are just as desired.
Unfortunatelly there is some glitch with inkscape freezing every some hundred conversions.
To track down the above freeze I decided to try the latest inkscape source and build it myself (Windows 10/Windows 11) to be able to debug it.
I found that the current app (24f6795) does not obey to the same CLI. Calling --verb=my.custom.extension complains Unable to find: my.custom.extension verbs_action: Invalid verb: my.custom.extension I get the same error message if I try to invoke as -- actions=my.custom.extension. Both --action-list and --verb-list do not list any extensions. The extension is part of the menu, so inkscape seems to know about it.
Commit 5e32ad5 "Menubar Filters + Extensions : Conversion to Actions" removes extensions from the verb-list. Various comments suggest that verbs are supposed to be moved to actions. Not sure whether that is the plan for extensions as well.
So my question is: How can I invoke my custom extension from CLI in the current version of inkscape (24f6795926, 2021-12-25) or any later?
Cheers and a happy new year to everybody, Lokomoko
