Including a large SVG image
Hi, I have a few SVG graphics of multiple megabytes. They contain a lot of objects (text/shapes). All graphics except for one gets properly included in my ConTeXt document. In place of the failed one there the gray placeholder box with 'status unknown'. I noticed that ConTeXt uses Inkscape to convert these SVGs to PDF. Is there a way in which I can increase the timeout for this conversion process? That is just a guess, maybe the problem is due to something else. Best, Sander

Maybe inkscape failed to convert the file. Is a corresponding m_k_i_v_filename.svg.pdf file generated? Marco

It might be informative to try running the Inkscape conversion
manually. This is the command line ConTeXT uses:
inkscape "%oldname%" --export-dpi=600 -A "%newname%"
(The quotation marks are literal: they are there in case the filename
has spaces, e.g.)
Good luck!

If processing in Inkscape fails, you can try another tool: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/tools/rasterizer.html It can (despite its name) transcode SVG to vector PDF: java -Xmx2G -jar batik-rasterizer.jar -m application/pdf image.svg In that case you have to transcode your files first and reference PDF variants in your input.
