Apparently the command line interface of Inkscape is not working properly. I usually export PNG files from command line because is much more quickly than open every single SVG to export in the GUI interface. After the upgrade to the 0.47 version I cannot export the PNG this way anymore. There is no error message. It simply output nothing. I use Inkscape on a Windows XP Service Pack 3. The command line that I usually use to export the files is:

inkscape -f file.svg -e file.png -h 64 -w 64

I review the options in the WEB about the command line and appears to me that nothing was changed from the older version.

Someone has a clue?

Have you tried to use absolute path names for both the SVG and PNG file?

You could use the 'inkscapec.exe - A Command Line Wrapper for Win32' described in http://kaioa.com/node/63 to see any related error messages of Inkscape that could indicate why the export fails.

Hi, guys.

Thanks for the ideas and support.

I tried the 'inkscapec.exe', as you can see below. And appears to me that the inkscape isn't find the file. But the file is in the current directory. The command line I copied below has an "." in front of the file name to specify that it is in the current directory. I also tried "./" (Unix way) and it show the same errors. It works fine only if I set the complete path.

$ inkscapec.exe .\connection.svg -w 64 -h 64 -e 64x64.png

** (inkscape.exe:3304): CRITICAL **: Inkscape::XML::Document* sp_repr_read_file( const gchar*, const gchar*): assertion `Inkscape::IO::file_test( filename, G_FIL E_TEST_EXISTS )' failed

** (inkscape.exe:3304): WARNING **: Specified document .\connection.svg cannot b e opened (does not exist or not a valid SVG file)

This below worked:

$ inkscapec.exe D:\plx\ihouse\src\SmartServer\web-1.3\docs\layout\icons\connection\connection.svg -w 64 -h 64 -e D:\plx\ihouse\src\SmartServer\web-1.3\docs\layout\icons\connection\64x64.png Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00 Area 0:0:128:128 exported to 64 x 64 pixels (45 dpi) Bitmap saved as: D:\plx\ihouse\src\SmartServer\web-1.3\docs\layout\icons\connect ion\64x64.png

I fill sorry because the behavior of the last version was better. But still I am able to export the images in command line again. Export hundreds of images in the GUI interface takes too long.

Thanks again, Alessandro
