Hi I can easily use mpage to condense multiple single sided sheets on a single page. However I am finding it tricky to do the same for double sided sheets. In this case I am printing badges. Say my input is Badge01Front.pdf Badge01Back.pdf Badge02Front.pdf Badge02Back.pdf Badge03Front.pdf ... How would I combine multiple badges onto a single sheet, so that if I cut up the sheet into badges, I get Badge01Front on one side of the first badge and Badge01Back on the other side? (and so on). FYI, I may be using SVGs instead of PDFs, but this shouldn't change much since they are easy to convert. I have wrote a bunch of scripts that basically do this , but they are complex and fragile. Is there a clean way of doing this?

I use telegram-desktop on arch linux in sway. It sometimes crashes, so I started it from terminal. This way I find out telegram spams this message: > qt.svg: Error while inflating gzip file: SVG format check failed How can I fix this ?

I have 3 svg files that I would like to combine into a single svg file. Each file has a single path tag in it and I would like to put the path tag from each svg file into one file. I figure there is probably a way to do this with a script. At least I hope there is, I have a several hundred of the groups of 3 files.

I am trying to add some icons into ~/.local/share/icons/ so that I can use them with notify-send. I can do that just fine, but the icon colour is not adapting to the background, unlike the Adwaita icons, and the contrast ends up being incredibly low. Note that I am able to just change the colour of the icon, but this is not a viable solution, as the icon is meant to be shared with other people, who may have light themes for their notifications. Here is what an Adwaita icon looks like in a GNOME notification: And here is what my other icon looks like in a GNOME notification: Both .svg files have the same base colour (#2e3436), but only the Adwaita one changes automatically to be legible even on a dark background. I converted my .svg file and edited it so that it resembles the Adwaita one, but I still have the same issue. Here is what the Adwaita icon code looks like:

And here is what I made the other icon into:

I want the files with the extension **.api** to have some chosen **SVG** icon in the File Manager. Assume, we have a file: /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/scalable/apps/utilities-terminal.svg I add a new MIME type: create a **~/.mime.types** file with a line: **text/x-api api** The question is: how should I link the SVG file name with the MIME type? NOTE: No need of creating the custom icon, no need to launch some application by double-clicking. This question deals only with the linking of the given icon to file extension.

I have a folder full of .svg files, some of which are actual files and others are merely links to files. They both have the .svg file extension, however the actual files are labeled "SVG Image" and the links are labeled "Link to SVG Image". I only want to delete the links, but I can't rm *.svg because they both have the file extension .svg. I can do ls and it shows the actual files vs symlinks in different colors so there is definitely a distinction. There are also far too many files to sort manually, which is why I want to be able to do this via a terminal command.

I have a big SVG file (~200MB): it's a graph with very precise data. However when gzipped into graph.svgz its size is around 3 MB, so you see it's very repetitive data. When I attempt to open it, Inkscape hangs and fills up the RAM, the only exit is reboot REISUB . I use Debian 10 with KDE desktop. Any idea to view the image ? It's OK to use another tool than inkscape, but I need to view the chart in detail, so generating a postage-stamp-sized PNG is not a good solution.

At the moment I'm working with a lot of SVG files and I don't have a good tool to inspect this files. Normally I use feh to take a look at an image, but feh can't show SVG files. Now I'm looking for a replacement. The replacement should have all the features of feh and should be able to open SVG files. Especially the following features are mandatory - simple feh like GUI - the tool should be designed for the use in a shell - $command ~/image1.svg image2.jpg should only open these two files not the directory ~/ - support multiple image formats - small memory footprint and not to many dependencies I know the Eye of GNOME (eog) does all this, but it is a GNOME tool and as such it needs to many GNOME dependencies.

I have many gray scale bitmaps that I need to convert to a vector format, such as SVG. I have been using Inkscape, which gives nice results, but this takes about 10-15 minutes to open, convert, and save a file. Is there a batch or command line tool that can convert these?

I have a directory that contains multiple SVG files. What I am trying to do is replace the height="2500" (value of height can be any integer) with height="{{ include.height }}". Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

find_string="height=\"\d+\""
replace_string="height=\"{{ include.height }}\""
for i in . -type f -name "*.svg");
do
    if grep -q "${find_string}" $i
    then
        sed -i -r "s/${find_string}/${replace_string}/" $i
    fi
done

I am trying a debug a peculiar performance behavior in the thumbnail-generating process for [eog](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/EyeOfGnome) , specifically [gdk-pixbuf](https://developer.gnome.org/gdk-pixbuf/) .

However, it's not enough to just run eog or gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer on the SVG. This behavior only happens when: - running eog on a directory; - there is a particular SVG in the directory that does not already have a thumbnail in ~/.cache/thumbnails/. (I use touch to update the timestamp of the SVG and make the thumbnailer run again every time.) - there is at least one other image in the same directory; - and the other image has a filename that collates *before* the SVG filename. (If the filename collates *after* the SVG filename, it generates the thumbnail in less than a second. Otherwise it takes around 30 seconds.) There are some other puzzles, too. In the [strace log](https://github.com/nbeaver/gdk-pixbuf-bug/blob/master/strace_1564026245.log) , the wall clock times don't seem to match the time spent in the system calls. I've run eog under strace with the -f flag: > -f > > Trace child processes as they are created by currently traced processes as > a result of the fork(2), vfork(2) and clone(2) system calls. and I've also tried the -ff flag: > -ff > > If the -o filename option is in effect, each processes trace is written > to filename.pid where pid is the numeric process id of each process. but in either case gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer doesn't show up in the logfiles of child processes. I'm also having trouble running gdb on gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer (something about "Target and debugger are in different PID namespaces"), so I can't tell where it's getting stuck. $ sudo gdb -p 20789 [sudo] password for nathaniel: Error while mapping shared library sections: Could not open `target:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbsd.so.0' as an executable file: No such file or directory warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.

Connect to gdbserver inside the container. (gdb) quit Detaching from program: target:/newroot/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer, process 20789 I'm guessing this has to do with the bwrap container.

(I happen to be using Ubuntu 18.04, but I want to know if this happens on other distributions.) - Why isn't strace -f picking up /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer as a child process of eog? Does eog use an unusual method to create child processes? - How can I use gdb to attach to the /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer process and see what function it's spending time in? - What might be causing this behavior?

I would like to ... * replace the hexadecimal code for URL (id) in all SVG files * insert/add the new lines of SVG codes after ``, using Regex.

Firstly I want to find that an icons theme is in /usr/share/icons/breeze, /home/$USER/.icons/breeze or /home/$USER/.local/share/icons/breeze, and if it is found, I will cd it and then replace and insert in all SVG files in multiples folders (not all folders). Three folders: apps/16, mimetypes/16 and places/16. Is it possible to re-adapt with these codes derived of links in the file replace-all.sh?

I recently migrated a site to a new server. I'm now getting this error from Firefox when attempting to load an .svgz file: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed The svg rendered fine on the old server, so I'm assuming this is a problem with the Apache configuration. I've tried adding the following to the .htaccess file for the site: # compress text, html, javascript, css, xml: AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE image/svg+xml # Or, compress certain file types by extension: SetOutputFilter DEFLATE SetOutputFilter DEFLATE and: AddType image/svg+xml svg svgz AddEncoding gzip svgz Neither seem to work . Any ideas how to get the SVG to load?

Inkscape 0.92 asks the user if old files should be converted to match the new resolution . I aligned all old pictures in units of millimetre. How can I convert all old files with a script? Is there an inkscape argument I can use for a commandline like find -name "*.svg" | xargs inkscape ...

I have my default printer set: lpoptions -d HP_ENVY_5530_series. I can print some text: echo HELLO > h.txt lp h.txt > [CUPS understands many different types of files directly, including text, PostScript, PDF, and image files.](http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html) I can print a Portable Network Graphics: lp Gnome2.26-printing-dialogue.png. A Scalable Vector Graphics: lp Cups_simple.svg - prints as its internal text contents, which isn't much use. A scanned JPEG: lp 022.jpg - gets stopped "Unable to open image file for printing!". If I convert it to a PNG with ImageMagick - convert 022.jpg 022.png, I can then print it lp 022.png. I would like an explanation for these limitations of the CUPS lp command.

I have SVG images produced by PlantUML, which has some parts of drawing outside of canvas. It makes it difficult to use such images and I need to crop drawing to canvas size. As I produce UML diagrams with script anyways, it would be really efficient to perform a cropping there as well. So far I've tried two things: a) resize canvas to drawing with Inkscape inkscape --verb=FitCanvasToDrawing --verb=FileSave --verb=FileClose *.svg This works fine, but I need to crop drawing to canvas size and this operation seems to be unavailable. b) resize with rsvg-convert rsvg-convert image.svg -w 1870 -h 1195 -f svg -o image.svg This does exactly croping to the desired size, but image size increases ~10 times as now there are some binary images embedded into SVG. This is not acceptable for me.

I've got a SVG file of the map of the US and I want to add colors to it. Because it would take me to much time, I thought I could use a bash script. I have also another file containing the states and the colors that belong to them. SVG-file: Hawaii CSV-file HI, blue What I want: Hawaii I thought I could use grep or sed but I really don't know where to begin.

Gedit can show matching parenthesis. Can it do the same with tags of an SVG file ? For example when I mark ` I need to find closing ` tag.

I am trying to convert an SVG file to PDF in python using the svglib and reportlab packages. Here is the SVG file. Here is the code I am using to convert (got this from svglib webpage). >>> from svglib.svglib import svg2rlg >>> from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF >>> drawing = svg2rlg("file.svg") >>> renderPDF.drawToFile(drawing, "file.pdf") The code runs fine without any error or exception but the file.pdf thus generated is a blank file. I mean that when I open this PDF file I see nothing but only white background page with nothing on it. Where am I going wrong ?

I found that arch provides both oxygen-icons and oxygen-icons-svg, what's the necessity of svg format? Is there something that a PNG image "can't do", maybe performance issue? Not sure about it.
