Beginners' Questions Exporting SVG to PDF

    After migrating to inkscape 1.0 I modified command line for transforming EPS to SVG. Now it looks like:

    inkscape.exe --export-type=svg filename.eps

    It works fine but during transformation it opens additional 'DOS' window (see attached) telling that program ps2pdf.exe is running. This did not occur when using older inkscape versions. I have two questions:

    1. Is it possible to disable showing this additional window and make the transformation 'quite'?

    2. ps2pdf is part of mikxtex (latex) installation which I am using as well. If I remove ps2pdf.exe from where miktex is installed, transforming SVG to PDF is not working anymore. The question is: What happened if user does not have latex installation on his maching when running inkscape? Are some necessary files, like ps2pdf.exe copied to the machine  while installing inkscape (whille checking if such files already exists)?

    Thanks for any suggestion in advance.

    Sorry the title is wrong: Instead of "Exporting SVG to PDF" it should be "Exporting EPS to SVG" - when transforming EPS to SVG by command line the window ps2pdf appears.
