I feel like I must be doing something silly wrong, but I just can't get this to work. This is the command I am running from cmd: 

inkscape.com "C:\path\ship.svg" -e --export-png="C:\Path\ship.png" --without-gui

In return, I get:

WARNING: File path "--export-png=C:\path\ship.png" includes directory that doesn't exist.

It does exist. What am I missing?

You should have used either -e or --export-png, not both, since they mean the same thing.

But According to the docs, -e and --export-png are no longer available. You should use -o or --export-filename=FILENAME instead. And still, you can use only one of them since -o is just the shortcut for --export-filename.

inkscape "C:\path\ship.svg" -o "C:\path\ship.png"

or

inkscape "C:\path\ship.svg" --export-filename="C:\path\ship.png"
