Using the Command Line - Inkscape Wiki

• inkscape action-list shows all available actions

• man inkscape is the latest and best

• inkscape AMPERSAND.png --export-type="svg" --export-area-page --batch-process works but asks me about import options

inkscape --shell, man page gives examples:

file-open:file1.svg; export-type:pdf; export-do; export-type:png; export-do
                   file-open:file2.svg; export-id:rect2; export-id-only; export-filename:rect_only.svg; export-do

OK this works for no questions about how to import it:

> file-open:AMPERSAND.png
> export-filename:AM.svg
> export-do
