With both batik and inkscape failing to work no matter the seemingly correct command, I'm fairly sure there's something else that I have to fix first. If I just knew what it is!!! =P Thank you again! Ciao! Manu

Yes, Inkscape opens them just fine, it's only when invoked through MediaWiki that the dreaded "Error creating thumbnail:" shows up with no further explanation. The debug log gives me the command that MW is trying to run but that works fine when I run it through a shell. So, I'm kind declaring myself defeated on SVGs for the moment... =( Ciao! Manu

I am pessimistic about it because MW's account is perfectly capable of writing files to the filesystem given that the upload function works just fine. So, if there is a problem with the account it'd have to be some sort of impossibility to run non-MW commands. To me this sounds a bit unlikely but it needs to be tested nevertheless. Ciao! Manu
