Hi,

I'd like to know how I can use Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing on my Windows
7 OS with a MediaWiki installation. Inkscape's files are located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape. My efforts to date (mostly based on
Manual:$wgSVGConverters and other MediaWiki manual pages) have failed.
Currently my LocalSettings.php file's SVG-related settings are:

# Image Converter
> $wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape';
> $wgSVGConverters = array(
>     'Inkscape' => '"$path/inkscape.exe" -z -w $width -f $input -e $output',
> );
> # Image converter path
> $wgSVGConverterPath = '/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape';


This gives the following error (which appears in the thumbnail's place):

> Error creating thumbnail: '""' is not recognized as an internal or
> external command,
> operable program or batch file.


The reason I'd like Inkscape as my SVG thumbnailer in particular is because
I sometimes use SVGs that are only correctly rendered by Inkscape (I know
that Wikia's thumbnailer (whatever it might be) frequently makes rendering
errors with these SVGs, e.g., see
http://health-and-medicine.wikia.com/wiki/File:Symptoms_of_Hodgkin_lymphoma.svg
and all the black spots that appear in it.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton
