Hey!

I just subscribed to this list because I have a problem that I can't 
solve myself.

I have following .inx file in extension directory

swf_output.inx
------------------------------------------------------
<inkscape-extension>
     <name>SWF Output</name>
     <id>org.inkscape.output.swf</id>
     <dependency type="extension">org.inkscape.output.pdf</dependency>
     <dependency type="executable" 
location="extensions">pdf2swf.cmd</dependency>
     <dependency type="executable">pdf2swf</dependency>
     <output>
         <extension>.swf</extension>
         <mimetype>application/x-shockwave-flash</mimetype>
         <filetypename>Flash SWF (*.swf)</filetypename>
         <filetypetooltip>Flash movie shape</filetypetooltip>
     </output>
     <script>
         <command reldir="extensions">pdf2swf.cmd</command>
         <helper_extension>org.inkscape.output.pdf</helper_extension>
     </script>
</inkscape-extension>
-----------------------------------------------------

In same directory I also have

pdf2swf.cmd
-----------------------------------------------------
pdf2swf %1 "%~dp1%~n1.swf"
pause
-----------------------------------------------------

It creates the .swf file but it's empty. I think that it's not running 
my cmd file or it doesn't get the input. Can anybody tell me what is 
the problem? pdf2swf.cmd works nicely when dragging a pdf file on it.

-Juho-

The problem is that you're implementing the interface wrong.  The PDF
data will be passed to your script via STDIN and the filename on %1 will
be the flash file to write to.  Assuming '-' is STDIN, you should have
this:

pdf2swf - %1
