Comment 1 for bug 889402

1) Please attach a proper patch ('diff -u' or 'bzr diff' preferred) and provide information against which version (Inkscape 0.48.2, Inkscape trunk) the patch is meant for.

2) The syntax you propose seems highly ambiguous to me: users would expect that Inkscape can export multiple SVG documents merged into a single PDF fiel (which it can't).

3) Why don't you use the existing shell mode to export multiple files without launching a new process for every export?

example to export 10 files in one process using bash:

   for i in {1..10}; do echo " -f file-$i.svg -A file-$i.pdf"; done | inkscape --shell

(Note: when using this to process a huge number of files, there is a small memory leak occuring that needs to be fixed, see bug #722229.)
