Publisher.cfg and Inkscape, issue with Windows 11

[Cicorione]

Hi Patrick,

I don't believe this is an issue within Publisher but I'd like to report it to you before.

I am using Inkscape SVG diagrams cause I need to change them on the fly and I setup my CFG this way:

runs=2
cache=none
verbose=true
loglevel=debug
layout=layout-dev.xml
jobname=5y
inkscape="C:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin\inkscape.exe"
inkscape-command='--without-gui --export-type="pdf" --export-overwrite'

However it creates the PDF with the same "hash-name" every time without overwrite it, even if you explicitly request to do so, as in the above settings:

·   Load image (filename=dia01.svg)
·   File lookup (request=dia01.svg,found=C:\Users\me\Desktop\PIOD Presentation\images\dia01.svg)
·   Using converted file "C:\\Users\\me\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\imagecache\\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf" instead
·   Lookup file (filename=C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\imagecache\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf)
·   File lookup (request=C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\imagecache\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf,found=C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\imagecache\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf)
·   Lookup file (filename=C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\imagecache\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf)
·   File lookup (request=C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\imagecache\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf,found=C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\imagecache\565022562c92f18e0fd9070eedd9e521.pdf)

The only way to display the changes is to rename the file with another name.

Tested on:

Windows 11
Inkscape 1.4

What do you think about it?

So just to help me understand this problem: you have a changing diagram with the same file name (as an SVG) and convert it (on the fly) to PDF. But the publisher displays the first generated diagram, other changes are not loaded. Correct?

Hi Patrick,

yes, that is correct.

Next version will honour honours cache=none in the configuration file for this case.

(Just released the version)

Hi Patrick,
this is a great news!

Thank you very much for doing Publisher every time better! 🙏
