Re: [Inkscape-user] script for extracting embedded jpeg images

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAICT Inkscape handles <image> tags just fine if they link to an external jpg, but doesn't handle the case where the jpg is embedded.

No, since relatively recently we can handle embedded images. See share/examples/data_uri.svg for a demonstration.

However, your script can still be very useful. It would be wonderful if you could also create a reverse script that embeds an images references from an SVG into it using data: URIs. Then we would hook these scripts up as extensions to the Extensions menu (which we will hopefully have soon).
