How to use inkscape command line interface?

command-line, inkscape, windows-7

Solution

On Windows, in the `C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin` folder, you will see both `inkscape.exe` and `inkscape.com`. Use `inkscape.com`.

Here is an example from PowerShell:

> & "C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin\inkscape.com" --help

Problem

I'm trying to use the inkscape command line interface. I have windows 7. First I open up command line, and I run these: ``` cd "C:\Program Files\Inkscape-0.48" inkscape "C:\Users\me\Desktop\Pic\Class_UML.png" --export-png="C:\Users\me\Desktop\Pic\raster.png" --export-area=0:0:100:100 ``` Then the inkscape popup opens, and I click embed, and then click ok, and then nothing happens, and the file doesn't show up. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks
