Bug Description

Using Inkscape 0.47 under Windows XP.

There seems to be no way to export a TGA file from the command-line interface.
Commands such as --export-png are interfaced but not for TGA. I'm wild guessing it would be a minor task to add the command-line to that feature since it is available from the UI.

As a end-user I am using Inkscape under Windows and trying to setup a pipeline to share with other users so it's making it more complicated to include another application to convert from eg PNG to TGA in my pipeline. Generally I think it wouldn't hurt if Inkscape supported export to all its known types in its command-line interface.

Note a similar bug report from another user but for PDF file-format:
"171372 Add command line option to export to PDF"

Thank you very much.

Did you obtain this output routine from elsewhere?
What is the file type called in the "Save As Type" box?

Alvin,

Oops - I feel totally awkward now :)
I indeed checked that there wasn't TGA output in the UI. When I thought I
tested it I had so many applications open that maybe I saw it in another
application and got confused.

I suppose my bug entry is invalid then. It would not hurt adding more export
formats but I guess it's not a priority for Inkscape.

Sorry for that,
-Omar
