Re: [O] make svg files open in inkscape?

[John Kitchin]

Sorry, premature send...

I previously wrote this solution: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/38345/open-an-external-sketch-drawing-application 

to make svg links open in inkscape, even if they don't already exist.

It turns out inkscape does not let you create files in a command line.

 

I wanted to try using org-file-apps for this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(defun my-svg (path link)

  

  (message "path: %s - %s" path link))

(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.svg\\'" . my-svg))

#+END_SRC

my-svg would eventually create a template file if the file doesn't exist, but in this form it doesn't work for files that don't exist yet. 

Is it expected that the files exist for file:some-file.svg when you click on them?
