Dear list,

Would anyone have a script lying around to export inkscape SVGs to PNG from the commandline ?

rsvg

You could also use ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/. You can even export SVG's to PNG's at 16-bit & with optional alpha channel. This is a good way to circumvent the 8-bit limitations of the Inkscape PNG export.

ImageMagick is invoked via command line. In the case of Inkscape/SVG, this would be something such as:

'convert -depth 16 -background transparent [your_SVG].svg [your_PNG].png'

And you can do much more! Imho, ImageMagick is just a great addition to Inkscape.

HTH,

Claus
