Export SVG to EMF using command line
Hi!
I have tested the export from svg to emf (in windows) using the GUI and I noticed a checkbox for exporting the texts as paths. This checkbox is by default checked, so as I didn't want that configuration I have unchecked it and the export worked like a charm.
When I tried the same from command line by typing
inkscape svgBasicChart.svg --export-emf=svgBasicChart.emf
the export performed had the texts exported as paths, but I didn't find any option to avoid that from command line as I found in the GUI.
Is this option available in any way for command line?
Thanks in advance

The EMF export settings should "stick" from the GUI, at least they do on linux. On linux:
inkscape #interactive, turn that option off, then exit inkscape svgBasicChart.svg --export-emf=svgBasicChart.emf
the emf produced should have text instead of paths. If you leave the interactive one open and then run the command line in another window I don't know what will happen. It might not save the settings until the program exits.

I believe new command line options should be added to be able to control that there. Requiring to change the settings via the UI to influence the command line output sounds quite confusing.
