Devs, (and Bob especially,)
Our efforts to make Inkscape's Windows port not output errors on the console have been way too successful. Now it never ouputs ANYTHING to the console, ever. Not even if I redirect it to file (> file).
Now, however, I have a project that critically depends on querying SVG files with Inkscape using --query* command line options. Worst of all, this must run on Windows.
So my question is, is there any simple fix I can do to make this work (I don't mind to run a custom version of Inkscape for this project)?
Or, should I just add --query-output=file option which would make it write the output to a file, which I can then parse?
It would be much better to fix this properly. --query-output=file IMHO would be evil. If you need a quick work around try `inkscape --query-whatnot > file`.
