Thanks for your comments. I realize my initial wording might have been confusing, so I have attempted to clarify what I'm looking for...



I use Inkscape for designing and exporting app assets. These assets are created a 4x scale (which corresponds to xxxhdpi on Android or @4xon iOS). Let's assume I have several vector icons that are 256x256 pixels within a single SVG opened in Inkscape. I need to export each of these icons at the following resolutions:


22.50 dpi (mdpi for Android) -> 64x64 pixels
33.75 dpi (hdpi for Android) -> 96x96 pixels
45.00 dpi (xhdpi for Android, @2x for iOS) -> 128x128pixels
67.50 dpi (xxhdpi for Android, @3x for iOS) -> 192x192 pixels


Doing this manually is really tedious. My question is thus: Is there an efficient way to export one or several specific objects within an SVG file at multiple resolutions from within Inkscape?

Note: I have hacked together a working, scripted solution that invokes svg-objects-export multiple times, but it is very slow and inconvenient, because I need to adapt the script every time I add an asset to the SVG file.

Ideally, I'm looking for a solution from within Inkscape ("Click and export", possibly for multiple selected objects at once). If that's not possible I'll take the next best option. A command line solution would be fine, as long as it's fast and automatically exports all assets in a file.

For quality reasons, I am also not looking for a solution to scale down exported PNGs.
