Error when converting .rm file

[antmar904]

Hello:

When running the following I get the following error:

rmc /mnt/c/Temp/TestRM/f57e211c-2fb6-4e8b-838f-74718ba12fc6.rm -o /mnt/c/Temp/test.pdf

From the last line and

 check_call(["inkscape", fsvg.name, "--export-filename", fpdf.name])

you can see that the SVG to PDF conversion is done with inkscape. You need to install it to your system first, and check that you can run it by typing inkscape in your terminal.

@antmar904 can you share this file f57e211c-2fb6-4e8b-838f-74718ba12fc6.rm and a description of how you made it / what it contains? It looks like it contains a new piece of data that hasn't come up before.

(this is unrelated to your main problem as hersle says)

I'm not a linux person, I think I installed inkscape by using:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install inkscape

I run the following command:

**rmc /home/User/TestRM/f57e211c-2fb6-4e8b-838f-74718ba12fc6.rm -o /home/User/TestRM/test.pdf

(inkscape:3367): WARNING : 07:09:23.979: Failed to wrap object of type 'GtkRecentManager'. Hint: this error is commonly caused by failing to call a library init() function.

I just realized that the test.pdf file has been successfully created. :)

let me find out which file this is and what it contains before I can share it. Thank you again for all your help.
