Comment 7 for bug 171511

Bulia,

This is very cool, I hadn't realized how many verbs there were. I have a
feeling there are pobably a lot of 'wishlist' items that can be crossed off
as implemented now. That said, I actually couldn't come up with a command
string that did what the original report asked for:

If I run:

$ inkscape --verb FitCanvasToDrawing --verb FileSaveAs tree.svg

Then inkscape opens the file, crops it as requested and presents me with the
file save as dialog, which means it can't be used in a script.

If I try to combine the -A command option with the verb using either of the
following two commands,
then I can generate a pdf, but it is not cropped to the drawing:

$ inkscape --verb FitCanvasToDrawing -A tree.pdf tree.svg
$ inkscape -A tree.pdf --verb FitCanvasToDrawing tree.svg

Am I missing something?

-Tom
