I am currently struggling with exporting an svg that I prepared in Inkscape and would really appreciate any help or hints. I have been using the MWE from the SVG package documentation ( https://ctan.org/pkg/svg ) in chapter 4. I will provide it here aswell, for the sake of completeness:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{svg}
\usepackage[off]{svg-extract}
\svgsetup{clean=true}
%\pdfsuppresswarningpagegroup=1
\usepackage{relsize}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}
\includesvg[width=\linewidth]{svg-example}%
\subcaption{This text is too large!}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}
\includesvg[width=\linewidth,pretex=\relscale{0.6}]{svg-example}%
\subcaption{This text fits better.}
\end{minipage}
\caption{An example figure with \LaTeX~support}\label{fig:example}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}\centering
\includesvg[%
width=.5\linewidth,inkscapelatex=false,extractformat={pdf,eps}%
]{svg-example}%
\caption{The same example figure without \LaTeX~support}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
I am unsure how to provide the svg I was using, but I promise there exists an "svg-example.svg" in the same directory as the tex file above. I will include it here as a png, but it is in svg format within the directory.
I have shell-escape enabled (–shell-escape as parameter for pdflatex.exe in TeXStudio) as well as Inkscape in the system path. The log, which contains the error messages at the bottom, follows here:

My obvious guess is that for some reason it puts ".svg.svg" (i.e. the file extension twice) after the file name, but I have absolutely no idea why it does that, and also no idea how to fix it.
I have tried converting the svg files to pdf manually, i.e.
inkscape -z -D --export-latex --file="svg-example.svg" --export-pdf="svg-example.svg_svg-tex.pdf" (please note that I changed the ".svg.svg" into ".svg"), which did work and created the pdf file correctly. However, when placing the 2 files into the subdirectory "svg-inkscape", it still does not work, and I get the errors:

The generated files from Inkscape are there in the correct folder, however! I guess this is due to quotation marks, the curly bracket or sth, but I really dont know what is causing this and how I can fix it.
This is my first post here on Stackexchange, so if I forgot to provide some info, please let me know! I'm really grateful for any help, so that I can continue writing my thesis, and stop having to waste hours and hours on this!
Best regards,

This is a non-answer but I wanted to post the code, I'll post a full answer here once the eventual fix is worked out.
Could you test this with your svg?
