Re: [Inkscape-devel] Crash in console mode resulting from rev. 20388

My guess is that there simply isn't any instance of SPDesktop when Inkscape is used as a command line executable. So possibly the error isn't in sp_item_i2d_affine as such, but rather in the fact that it is being called at all. If anyone with a bit more understanding of this area of the code could have a look that would be great.

You are right. In command line mode, there are no desktops, only documents. So, desktops should only be used in UI code, never in low-level rendering code.
