Thanks for the reply! Basically, I just want the file to be save at the current location and opened in inkscape. So if I navigate to a directory via the command line, I can just launch `inkscape new-file-name.svg`, to create a file that I can start editing in inkscape, and when I press Ctrl+S, the f...

I often use command line programs to create and open a file with one comman, e.g. vi new-file-name I tried doing this in inkscape inkscape new-file-name.svg but it does not work unless the file is already created. Is there a way to create and open files in inkscape with only one command? Or do I hav...

Hi,
I would also like to automate the export of specific areas of my Inkscape SVGs to PDFs. Did you ever find a solution to this, other than the slow one you outlined?

I asked a similar questions here http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=27324. At the time, it seems like it is not possible to link to an svg or pdf file, only to bitmap files.

However, when displayed in Chromium or Firefox, the svg is not pixelated and looks like a vector image. When I print the page to a pdf via Chromium/Firefox the pdf has perfect resolution (vect...

Thanks for the answer @Moini. This is what I mentioned at the end of my question. This works for displaying a low resolution raster of the external svg inside another svg. However, I would like to display the full vector version of the external svg and being able to export the entire svg, without ge...

Thanks everyone for the responses! Sorry for not getting back earlier, the forum notifications do not seem to work for me, so I did not realize someone had replied to my question. @Maestral That manual page seems to explain how to make shapes within inkscape link to URLs and similar, but I can't fin...

Hi, I am using python to create a bunch of plots of my data and then Inkscape to layout individual plots and schematics within panels of a master figure. I also add some extra elements such as panel names and titles. Every time I modify something in my Python code, I have to manually paste the svg/p...
