# Inkscape Postscript Export in 2022
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A lot of older guides using Inkscape to convert SVG images to PostScript
|
||
|
|
use a `-E` CLI flag that no longer exists in the Inkscape CLI:
|
||
|
|
~~`inkscape input.svg -E out.eps`~~.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**The correct way to do this in the *current* year:**
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
inkscape --export-type=eps -o out.eps in.svg
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to automatically convert all of the `.svg` files in your current
|
||
|
|
working directory to `.eps` files, you can use something like this script:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||
|
|
for svg in *.svg; do
|
||
|
|
bname=$(basename "$svg" | sed 's/\.svg$//g')
|
||
|
|
echo "Converting \""$bname"\"..."
|
||
|
|
echo -e "\tinkscape --export-type=eps -o \"$bname.eps\" \"$svg\""
|
||
|
|
inkscape --export-type=eps -o "$bname.eps" "$svg"
|
||
|
|
done
|
||
|
|
```
