inkscape-cli-wrapper

This is an Inkscape cli wrapper made as a patch for the macOS bug, where one must specify absolute paths when invoking Inkscape commands (see #1449251 and #181639). This script simply prepends to your relative path and calls the normal Inkscape binary with absolute paths.

Usage

• Clone or download the script.
• Use the script as you would use the $ inkscape commandline utility, e.g.

   ./inkscape-wrapper -z -D --file={filename}.svg --export-pdf={filename}.pdf

Optionally

• Symlink the script with so that other programs, e.g. LaTeX packages, may use it.

ln -sf /path-to-script/inkscape-wrapper /usr/local/bin/inkscape

Note this command will overwrite any existing symbolic link. However, this can be undone easily by relinking the inkscape-bin found in /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/
