Beyond the Basics inkscape 1.2 actions list

    I'm trying to use inkscape 1.2 via the CLI, and I can't seem to find a list of all the actions anywhere.

    according to https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=GSoC_2021_Verbs_to_Gio::Actions and https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/1.2#Behind_the_curtains

    the old verbs have all been converted to actions, but I can't find any documentation on the new actions. I've worked out some of them via trial and error:

    - SelectionUnGroup -> selection-ungroup

    - SelectionUnion -> path-union

    but what did EditDeselect become? It's not edit-deselect or edit-de-select or Edit-Deselect or selection-deselect

    where should I go to find these new commands? the --actions-list flag doesn't seem to list menu commands.

    inkscape --action-list > actions.txt

    EditDeselect is now select-clear

    FileSave is missing.

    A couple of other quirks.

    Although --batch-process should not longer be needed to silently trigger the GUI to accommodate verbs, a couple of the replacement actions do require it and will fail silently. 

    This has been reported as a bug.

    oh thank you, I thought I tried that but it must have been an old version
