Hi
I am generating PNG from SVG using the command line (WXPSP2)
inkscape.exe -e <imgFile> <svgFile>
My SVG file looks like
<svg> <defs> <pattern id="myPattern".....>
</pattern> </defs> <path.... style="fill: url(#myPattern);"/> </svg>
When I generate the PNG I get the "Linked Image Not Found". If I open the SVG file with Inkscape I get the same error, but if I replace the http:// by a local path (file:/// because I run the Web server locally), it shows the image.
I can not embed the image and the URL is ok. In fact If I generate the PNG using Batik it is working fine.
Is ther any problem using http:// form images? Is there any additional argument I must pass to the command line?
Thanks a lot
Isi

Which 'http://' exactly? Your excerpt of the SVG source only shows a reference to an internal fragment (pattern source), but no external web linked resources (bitmap images?). Maybe consider sharing the full source or attaching the SVG file instead.

AFAIK Inkscape does not support loading images linked from the web via 'xlink:href="http://"' (in the GUI as well as when used on the command line to export to bitmap) - it only loads bitmap images from the file system (with an absolute link like 'xlink:href="file:///tmp/test.png"' or a relative link (relative to the location of the SVG file) like 'xlink:href="test.png"').
There have been related reports/requests in the bug tracker, e.g.: Bug #171442 "Web-linked images" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171442 Bug #170137 "hyperlinking xlink" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170137 Bug #723627"svg file "Linked image not found", even with image embed" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/723627

Thanks for the reply. I see I must wait until those bugs are solved... o trying to solve them for myself :-)

Just download the image from the web and then load it into Inkscape from the local copy.
