Mark,I installed the updated version and ran a few tests with it.
If I call inkscape -V from the prompt, I get an error:(inkscape:1451): Gtk-WARNING **: 07:07:30.361: cannot open display: :0

But if I run inscape on a file to convert the format:inkscape -f testfile.svg -e testfile.pngit executes without any error.

When I run my script, it starts with this message:** (inkscape:1422): WARNING **: 07:02:30.339: No cc:license metadata found, derived license URI from cc:License: http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/but the script runs and the png output is generated for all *.svg in the folder as expected, so I don't care about a warning message.
Thank you!John
