    Hello world,

    I have a folder of 100+ inkscape.svg files. I want to converting them to plain .svg in a different folder. How would I do this?

    Thanks

    for the same folder - it should be as simple as:

    inkscape --actions="export-plain-svg;export-do" ./*.svg

    this will create filename_out.svg in the same folder

    If you want a different folder, you would have to do a bit of scripting

    I would still use copies of the original svg files, just in case anything goes wrong.

    Thanks for the response. It looks sound but it didn't work. the error message I got follows:

    *.svg' cannot be opened!

    InkscapeApplication::document_open: Failed to open: C:\mypath\*.svg
    ConcreteInkscapeApplication::on_open: failed to create document!

    I forgot wildcards do not work with the windows command line.

    See my reply half way down this thread. (powershell)
