Bug Description
Inkview is unable to read SVG files from /dev/stdin (Fails with "could not open file" message). This is rather surprising, because Inkscape can do that. Tested with today's SVN trunk branch.
tweenk@tc1100:~$ echo 'set terminal svg; plot sin(x)' | gnuplot | inkview /dev/stdin
could not open file /dev/stdin
tweenk@tc1100:~$ echo 'set terminal svg; plot sin(x)' | gnuplot | inkscape /dev/stdin
** (inkscape:9692): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
(here an Inkscape window opens showing the plot)

Just to keep everyone talking in the same place, I'm marking this a dupe of bug 171016. I'll make a note there that the /dev/stdin trick doesn't work for inkview.
