[Klowner]

That's pretty odd, do other filters work fine?

[asdf23]

I guess not, I spot checked a few. BTW, This tool is super useful. I wish it was an option in the save dialog.

Is this actions thing dead?

[Klowner]

As far as I know actions should still work. On my Arch desktop, the packaged Inkscape crashes during startup 🙃. I'll look around, this might an Inkscape bug?

[asdf23]

I believe that you are correct this work within Inkscape. I'll close the ticket. Thanks for the feedback.

[Klowner]

Thank you for reporting the issue. Just to clarify, your Inkscape crashes from the command line when using --actions but it this extension works okay from within the GUI?
