Beyond the Basics Trouble using the command line

    I installed inkscape and wanted to use it from the command line.  However, for some reason I can only query and export files.  Anytime I try to do anything else from this documentation page I cannot get it to work.

    For example,

    inkscape --action-list

    only gives me

    WARNING **: Invalid option --action-list

    When I look at the man page that comes with the version I installed, all I have are query and export options, I see nothing about actions or verbs or anything under it.

    Anyone know what might be going on?

    If you are using Linux, have you installed from snap, flatpak, or ppa ? 

    I only use the ppa version on Ubuntu 20+

    Works for me.

    I'm using Windows.

    Turns out I was using an older version of Inkscape. Once I updated, all my issues were solved.
