Yes, there's a bug in the dblatex imagedata.py script, where the
SvgConverter class swaps the input/output arguments passed on to
inkscape.
Florian, for the MacPorts install, this is located under
/opt/local//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/
python2.6/site-packages/dbtexmf/core/imagedata.py
(where 2.6 here is my particular version of Python, yours might
differ). The patch is simply to swap order of the input and output
variables:
$ diff -u imagedata.py.original imagedata.py
--- imagedata.py.original 2011-03-23 15:15:30.000000000 -0700
+++ imagedata.py 2011-03-23 15:15:41.000000000 -0700

class SvgConverter(ImageConverter):
def convert(self, input, output, format, doexec=1):
- cmd = "inkscape -z -D \"--export-%s=%s\" %s" % (format,
input, output)
+ cmd = "inkscape -z -D \"--export-%s=%s\" %s" % (format,
output, input)
return self.system(cmd, doexec)
I've reported this to the maintainer of dblatex, so maybe they will
fix it.
