Hello:

I've been working on a number of things in Inkscape, a lot of which deal with tracing of many frames of 2D animation. Since I generally apply the same settings to a multitude of files, I was wondering if there is a way to do command-line access of "Trace Bitmap" command that could still utilize my settings...

Inkscape can't yet trace from command line, but its tracer uses potrace, which is a command line tracer with all the same parameters (except that, I think, it cannot do multiscan which was added in Inkscape on top of it). See http://potrace.sourceforge.net/.
