Crash on Change Document Properties
by Stan Field 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

I'm using Inkscape .48 on a Kubuntu 10.10 system with 8Gb of RAM and plenty of drive space. Any attempt to modify Document Properties results in a crash. I've tried it with both a new (blank) load of Inkscape as well as a couple of different pre-existing drawings. It always says "Inkscape encountered an internal error and must close..." Any ideas? -- E.C. "*Stan*" Field *Reality is the Illusion!* http://PostOrbitalDesign.net/

Batch conversion of ai/eps/cdr to svg
by Antonio Roberts 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I'm trying to do a batch conversion of 340 eps, ai and cdr files to svg files using Inkscape via the command line. I've previously tried to do this using uniconverter but got lots of errors, whereas Inkscape via the gui was able to open and convert them without fail. The problem I'm having is that there doesn't seem to be a way to open anything other than svgs from the command line. Trying something like inkscape -f infile.eps -l outfile.svg gave me: "infile.eps:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 ^ ** (inkscape:12078): WARNING **: Specified document infile.eps cannot be opened (does not exist or not a valid SVG file)" Is there a way to do this?

Resize an image from the command line
by Alec Battles 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I want to scale an SVG file/object while preserving h/w ratios. In the gui, this would be done by clicking on the object, choosing object-->transform-->scale-->preserve ratio-->(enter scale) then file-->properties-->resize canvas to fit object. As you can see, that's a lot of work for an operation that should be really simple. Anyway, I tried figuring out how to use the shell mode, and didn't manage it. I assume I need to use the verb "DialogTransform" but that's as far as I got. Any help would be appreciated. -- 𓆦
