[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38323] printing image to svg uses same embedded png filename with gnuplot 4.6

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #38323 (project octave):

Ok, thanks, so you have answered my question, we have to use the keyword
"failsafe" for older versions of gnuplot.

Where the png file is written is irrelevant, Octave users expect the output of
print to be a single svg file, not a pair of files that need to be copied
around. And printing more than once produces different svg files that
reference the same png file name. This is a completely non-usable feature.

If you want to work with gnuplot to introduce a new option for a future
version of gnuplot, please do so, but Octave still needs a patch to produce a
single svg file with the "failsafe" keyword with gnuplot 4.6.
