Re: [Inkscape-devel] svgslice and inkscape autodetection warning

There is one small Inkscape issue, which I'm currently working around.

I'm calling inkscape from within an extension, like so:

inkscape --without-gui --export-id="itemtoexport" --export-png="pngfilename" "svgfilename"

But this outputs the following:

** (inkscape:25789): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.

Strangely, this doesn't happen on the same file if I load it directly from the command line with inkscape "svgfilename".

Are the filenames the same or does one have ".svg" on the end of it? The file detection being refered to here is all filename based.
