+Logging Inkscape events can be done by switching on DEBUG logs:
+
+Set the enviroment variables:
+
+INKSCAPE_DEBUG_LOG=filename.xml
+INKSCAPE_DEBUG_FILTER=Comma,List,Options
+
+Filter Options:
+ CORE - Logs core events
+ XML - Same xml changes in the log
+ SPOBJECT - Logs events from sp-object
+ DOCUMENT - Logs document events
+ REFCOUNT - Will track refs, may cause crashes
+ EXTENSION - Track extension events (where available)
+ FINALIZERS - Unknown
+ INTERACTION - User events
+ CONFIGURATION - Configuration entries as they're read
+ OTHER - None
+
+The log will output an xml file useful for machine reading.
