I have installed the last version of Inkscape via flatpak in Xubuntu 16.04. and it runs smoothly. The problem is that I would like to use inkview as standard .svg viewer, but I do not find inkview in the installed flatpak :-\. That seems odd to me, because inkview came integrated with inkscape when I installed the package via Package Manager.

Is inkview available in the flatpak installation? How could I run it?

If not, how could I install inkview independently from inkscape?

Thanks.

You can do this in a tricky way by using special --command=inkview option:

flatpak run --command=inkview org.inkscape.Inkscape ~/drawing.svg

See details in the output of flatpak run -?:

Usage:
   flatpak run [OPTION...] APP [ARGUMENT…] - Run an app

Application Options:
...
     --command=COMMAND                       Command to run
...

  • It works! Thanks. Now I can delete the dpkg installation of Inkscape, I kept it only for the sake of inkview ´:-). Now, I cannot understand why I did not find the answer by googling it; It seems quite straightforward. :-\
