Hi,<br><br>If you might have noticed, I posted a message about the plugin/extension I wrote to upload images to Flickr/Picasaweb.<br><br>An important part of this plugin is to convert SVG to JPEG, because both of the above services don&#39;t accept SVG images. So the solution I am using in the current version of plugin is, using ImageMagick&#39;s &quot;convert&quot; command to do the above image format transformation. This is not an elegant approach, in my opinion. I can&#39;t get it to work on windows, etc.
<br><br>I know Inkscape can let you save an SVG image as jpeg. But don&#39;t know how to do this programmatically. My extension works as an &quot;output&quot; extension, so it is triggered by the filename extension (.web). This mechanism pretty much isolates the extension developer from having programmatic interface with inkscape functionality. So I am not sure how I can access inkscape&#39;s svg-2-jpeg functionality, if at all there is an API exposing it.
<br><br>It is also a possibility to fork another inkscape instance as command line and use --export-png to convert to PNG (I think flickr/picasa will accept png). But the conversion result was very poor when I tried it. When the SVG image contained some simple black lines on a white background, the resultant PNG contained only black lines and no background.
<br><br><br>Any suggestions around these ideas will help.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Cheers!<br>Jayesh<br>
