How to import into Inkscape via STDIN?

Postby theozh » Fri Dec 16, 2016 11:02 pm

Hi,
is it possible to get input into Inkscape via STDIN from a command line?
More precise:
Inkscape seems to be able to import Postscript files. Great!
I want to redirect a printer output via Windows command line directly to Inkscape and save it as SVG and then modify it further.
This can basically be done via detour of creating a PDF first and then importing this PDF.
However, is there any way to import/read a PS file via STDIN directly?
