SelectionSimplify

[peterkimga]

Hi

I got a problem with this code to run correctly.

So this is my code:

const fs = require('fs');
const Inkscape = require('inkscape');

const inkscape = new Inkscape([
  '--verb=EditSelectAll',
  '--verb=SelectionSimplify',
  '--verb=FileSave',
  '--verb=FileClose',
  '--verb=FileQuit'
]);

var readableStream = fs.createReadStream('./input.svg');
var writableStream = fs.createWriteStream('./output.svg');

readableStream.pipe(inkscape).pipe(writableStream);

But is not doing anything to SVG. It's just copying the file. When I do the steps in Inkscape 1.0.2 all works as it should. The path is optimized and all. The paths are grouped but it's not stopping the application to do it.

I got Terminal working with "inkscape" so that's ok.

Is there a way to pass config to your class? Maybe this is the problem?

I will like to hear your feedback on how to make this run.

Regards
Peter

Hey Peter, just to rule out that this is a problem with Inkscape itself -- can you get the same command to work with the inkscape cli without using this module (and I guess --with-gui)?
