Re: [Gimp-user] SVG to PNG using a script

[Tres Finocchiaro <tres finocchiaro gmail com>]

Michael,

You're completely right, the web archive of that original post has it for
download.  Here's the web archive article, which specifically mentions
downloading svg-to-raster.scm.

https://web.archive.org/web/20140214102644/http://porpoisehead.net/mysw/index.php?pgid=gimp_svg

Fortunately, web archive had a copy of the scheme source.  I've re-hosted
it here: https://gist.github.com/tresf/c06aac6ceb51b86f328c3655fb503efe

I'll continue down this path and share my progress.  Thanks kindly!
