 This is by design. I want to minimize the number of files that might be out of sync with the source, and keeping both SVGs and PDFs is just asking for trouble!

 There are a few things more you should note:
-  * The script relies on [[http://inkscape.org/|Inkscape]]---which it runs in batch/shell mode. Inkscape isn't really that light, but it’s arguably something that should be in your FOSS toolkit anyway.

   * The script relies on [[https://help.gnome.org/users/zenity/stable/|Zentiy]]. If this offends your KDE or other sensibilities, I have a [[svg2pdf-dgxmessage|version]] that uses [[http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~trmusson/programs.html#gxmessage|gxmessage]] or [[http://linux.die.net/man/1/xmessage|xmessage]] as well as a pure [[svg2pdf-dbash|command-line version]]. I won't promise to keep these updated though.
