Idea
As of Inkscape 0.47, the only way to manage images is to edit the XML of the document or scripts. By managing images I mean embed them, change them, make them relative, export them...
Images in inkscape
We can enumerate 3 types of images:
External with Absolute path
example:
<image xlink:href="file:///home/steren/Bureau/imgs/absolute.png" width="80" height="80" id="image57" x="40" y="152" />
External with Relative path
example:
<image sodipodi:absref="/home/steren/Bureau/imgs/relative.png" xlink:href="imgs/relative.png" y="263.79077" x="40.000011" id="image71" height="80" width="80" />
Embedded
example:
<image xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANS ...***IMAGE STORED HERE*** " width="80" height="80" id="image43" x="40" y="40" />
UI Proposal
Manager
each line contain : a thumbnail of the image and its path.
(You can find the sources of this image here)
A test file can be found here, it contains a .svg with 3 images: relative, absolute and embedded.
