> How did you install Inkscape?

If I remember correctly, I did

    $ brew cask install inkscape

This seems to install Inkscape.app under /Applications/ and make a symbolic link

    $ \ls -lF /usr/local/bin/inkscape
    . . . . /usr/local/bin/inkscape@ -> /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape

Thanks for the link. Then, my issue is a duplicate of the linked one. I guess a solution is

    $ open -a Inkscape somefile.pdf

One might think of turning this into a bash alias or a shell script, but then

    $ open -a Inkscape --version

doesn't work. So writing a shell script to wrap Inkscape.app isn't trivial.

In the meanwhile, I found that /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape is already a shell script. Is it hard to convert the given filenames to their absolute paths in it?
