Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkscape

When running inkscape with a command like "cat foo.svg | inkscape --without-gui -f /dev/stdin -e /home/skipper/Desktop/foo.png", it will output following:

** (inkscape:2996): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG.
Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00
Area 0:0:16:16 exported to 16 x 16 pixels (90 dpi)
Bitmap saved as: /home/skipper/Desktop/gnome-colors/gnome-brave/16x16/places/folder-documents.png

These are all information I do not want to see, because the command is part of a script. There should be an option to suppress all these output.

this will suppress the warnings in the command line. Ones to note are the _warn attributes. This can also be done in the GUI, but GUI uses ENV variables and command-line does not.

Any news after 12 years?
It is possible to use the command line inkscape without any output (quiet)?
In my case inkscape prints while exporting:

>> Exporting only object with id="layer2"; all other objects hidden.
>> Background RRGGBBAA: ffffff00
>> Area 0:0:448:328 exported to 448 x 328 pixels (96 dpi)
