Description Todd Warner 2020-04-26 06:48:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
File handling configuration for all converter definitions that look like this "SVG -> XXX" and "SVG (compressed) -> XXX" are incorrectly configured.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 31
lyx-2.3.4.2-1.fc31.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Help
2. Click on Tutorial
3. Click on the View icon or just hit CTRL-R
4. Enjoy the flood of errors

Expected results:
A rendered PDF.

Additional info -- THE RESOLUTION:
The inkscape options changed at some point, therefore you have to do this ...
Go to Tools > Preferences > File Handling
Change, for example, SVG -> PNG:
OLD: inkscape --without-gui --file=$$i --export-png=$$o
NEW: inkscape --without-gui $$i --export-type=png --export-file=$$o
(you have to hit Modify to save the change each time you change it)

Do that for all the SVG things.
Note: You can see inkscape's command line options via inkscape --help. Don't use the man page, it is wrong (I also filed a bug on that).

Now, those actions fix it for the local installation. The RPM's default settings are wrong though. I don't know where they are populated from, I have no idea. I leave that issue with the owner of the package to figure out.

Thanks. -t
