Yup, seen it and used it a few times, as well as some others...

I am looking for something that will batch convert SVG files to EPS on Linux.

Image magick is what I use for batch conversion most of the time, because it is so drop dead simple.

I seem to remember there was a long post about just that thing in this thread Image Magick and LiveCode, in fact, but don't recall if EPS was among the things being converted :oops: but I do suspect it would be no issue for Image magick.

Warning post about vector to vector conversion with Image magick.

InkScape CLI + Livecode works pretty good. This works for me to convert a folder of (only) SVG files to EPS in ubuntu 18.04

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   answer folder "select a folder that contains ONLY SVG files"
   set the defaultfolder to it
   put the files into theFiles
   set the itemdelimiter to "."
   answer folder "Select a folder to save converted files to"
   put it & "/" into tOutputFolder
   repeat with x=1 to the number lines in theFiles
      put shell("inkscape"&&(line x of theFiles)&&"-E"&&tOutputFolder&(item 1 of line x of theFiles)&".eps")
   end repeat
end mouseup
The double answer folders is a bit janky as far as that goes, but I just wrote this quickly to see if it worked, which it seems to do fairly well on my end.
