$ 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Unfortunately, this does override outdated command line argument.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!
