Issue with that is that there is no example of similar extension already done. Somewhere I've read that you need to create custom verb(extension I guess) which does what you need to do and then use that in verb argument. You can get list of verbs with: inkscape -verb-listĪnd that is fine except that verb SelectionTrace simply opens up dialog box for that and I don't know way of controlling that window with bash or verbs. When basing a design off an existing picture or graphic, load it into Inkscape in its own layer. verb argument passes command to select all and to trace selection inkscape -verb "EditSelectAll SelectionTrace" image.png

I have this script which opens image in Inkscape selects it and attempts to trace it to vector.

When I found out that inkscape can be controlled from bash I went out to try and create batch script. Since this is repetitive operation and I usually have image with 2 or 3 colors task is simple but time consuming nonetheless.
My usual workflow is using Inkscape and doing it manually for each file. One of the features in Inkscape is a tool for tracing a bitmap image into aI need to process all images in folder from png to svg.
