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

- Hm...
Some I use more regularly...

- Maybe too much?

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

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.
