Well, that would depend how you store your presentation in the first place.  I always use PDF format, so for me "presentation.pdf" would have been correct.

ps. Has anyone used that ipeweed script recently?  You would need a setup where the libipelua library is actually installed in such a way that the lua interpreter can find it under the name "ipe" - this certainly does not happen automatically.

I would rather run this as an Ipe script, using "ipescript ipeweed infile outfile".  To do that, the script needs to be saved as "ipeweed.lua" in (e.g.) ~/.ipe/scripts, and the first five lines need to be replaced by
```
local inname = argv[1]
local outname = argv[2]
```
