Inkscape jpg --> svg *commandline* conversion (tracepath)

I have a bunch of jpg images which I can manually convert successfully to .svg using certain settings in Inkscape. But I'd like to run batch conversion from commandline.

Is it possible to manipulate the following settings via commandline ? :

Path / Trace path / Mode    - (x) Grays              Scans:    [2   ]   

Path / Trace path / Mode    - [ ] Smooth
Path / Trace path / Mode    - [x] Stack scans
Path / Trace path / Mode    - [x] Remove background

Path / Trace path / Options - [x] Suppress speckles, Size:     [2   ]
Path / Trace path / Options - [x] Smooth corners,    Threshold [0.10]
Path / Trace path / Options - [x] Optimize paths,    Tolerance [0.10]

// Something like
>inkscape.exe source.jpg result.svg --trace-path=<the_above_settings>

  • Checkout Potrace it's integrated into Inkscape but there's also a command line version:
