$ inkscape --version Inkscape 1.0 (4035a4fb49, 2020-05-01) Pango version: 1.44.7 With the new release of Inkscape, --export-pdf no longer exists. The new options appear to be: --export=type=pdf --export=pdf-version=1.5 (or 1.4) --export-filename=filename.pdf Aditya has shown a work-around on TeX.SE. I've changed the code a little: \startluacode figures.programs.inkscape={ command="inkscape", pdfargument=[[ "%oldname%" --export-dpi=600 --export=type=pdf --export-filename="%newname%" ]], pngargument=[[ "%oldname%" --export-dpi=600 --export=type=png --export-filename="%newname%" ]], } \stopluacode Unfortunately, this does override outdated command line argument. ConTeXt appears to pass in the old argument: context --purgeall --trackers=graphics.conversion filename.tex Shows: Unknown option --export-pdf=images/m_k_i_v_genealogy.svg.pdf How would you replace the export-pdf option for the new version of Inkscape? (I'll send a bug to the Inkscape issue tracker; it strikes me that --export-pdf could have remained an alias.) Thank you!
