In that case, you would need to download the latest dev build, it is much faster than 0.46 in exporting blur. -- bulia byak Inkscape. Draw Freely. http://www.inkscape.org

Hi, Mr. Byak. I know that, for a vector image, the width and height in pixels is meaninless. It is built with a series of PNG images and text objects. About 2900 in each file. I have to slice every file in 29,232 parts. Each part will have 180px width and 150px height. Also, every part must be named with their source X and Y coordinates. The source SVG is not too big, in bytes. It has about 20 MB because of the series of PNG imagens on it. It dosn't have any efect like blur or other, transparency or other thing. Well, the background color for the page is nothing, if this means something. Maybe I did something wrong in the batch script. It is so simple. Maybe I can't see something obvius. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for /l %%Y in (0,150,37650) do ( for /l %%X in (0,180,20700) do ( call :export_file %%Y %%X ) ) goto :EOF rem %1 is Y coord. %2 is X coord. :export_file set /a RIGHT=%2 + 180 set /a TOP=%1 + 150 inkscape -e ../target-dir/%2x%1.png -a %2:%1:%RIGHT%:%TOP% source.svg goto :EOF -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can see that a problem in this script is that every time it calls a new instance of Inkscape. This is a problem. I read about the '--shell' command line option but seams to me that it is not working. So, I had no alternatives. There is something else that can be done?

I read about the '--shell' command > line option but seams to me that it is not working. It works in the devel version. However, it only saves you time for starting up and shutting down Inkscape. If each slice is exported for a long time (if I understood you correctly) then this gain will be negligible. Its primary advantage is for exporting many fast and small files in succession. I agree that overall, it is likely to be faster to export the entire file to bitmap, then slice the bitmap. However, I never tried to slice bitmaps this large either, so I don't know how fast it will be.
