Accept new file name from the command line
Summary:
(this is an enhancement request for command-line users)
New file names should be accepted from the command line. For example, I can do "vim new_file.txt" even when "new_file.txt" does not exist yet, but not "inkscape new_file.svg". This can be especially useful when starting inkscape from some deep subdirectory, or when I know the file name beforehand.
Steps to reproduce:
run "inkscape new_file.svg" from the shell command line.
What happened?
inkscape complains that "new_file.svg" does not exist:
ink_file_open: '/home/kas/new_file.svg' cannot be opened!
InkscapeApplication::document_open: Failed to open: /home/kas/new_file.svg
ConcreteInkscapeApplication::on_open: failed to create document!
What should have happened?
inkscape should start with new document and preselected file name (and of course, the directory).
