  1. one XML file in $RSSDIR for all of the PDF files in and under $SYSDIR,
  2. one XML file in $RSSDIR for each directory in and under $SYSDIR containing one or more PDF files, or
  3. one XML file in a subdirectory under $RSSDIR corresponding to each subdirectory under $SYSDIR containing one or more PDF files?
What data is supposed to be included with the <description> tags in your XML file(s) for each PDF file?
I need one xml for all pdfs in and under specified directory.
For description tags I need pdf name, and folder name for two levels up. Info should be sorted by date, showing newest first, and links to files.

ipetoipe

IPETOIPE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       IPETOIPE(1)

NAME

       ipetoipe - Convert between Ipe file formats

SYNOPSIS

       ipetoipe ( -pdf | -eps | -xml ) { options } input-file [ output-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       ipetoipe converts between the three Ipe file formats XML, PDF, and EPS.	 Options are:

       -pdf   convert to PDF format

       -eps   convert to EPS (encapsulated Postscript) format

       -xml   convert to XML format

       -export
	      do not include Ipe markup in the output file.
	      Warning: this means that Ipe will not be able to read the resulting output file.

       -pages from-to
	      restrict exporting to PDF to this page range.  This implies  the -export option.

       -view page-view
	      only export this single view from the document.  This implies  the -export option.

       -markedview
	      create  a Postscript/PDF page only for the marked views of marked Ipe pages. This is for instance convenient for making handouts for
	      slides used in a presentation. This implies the -export option.

       -runlatex
	      run Latex even for XML output. This has the effect of including the dimensions of each text object in the XML file.

       -nocolor
	      do not use any color commands in Postscript output.  This is useful if you are preparing a manuscript for publication where the pub-
	      lisher  checks that the figures are grayscale only.  Note that this option doesn't actually verify that the figure contains no color
	      (a figure using color processed with this option will cause a Postscript error when displayed).

       -nozip do not compress streams in PDF or Postscript output.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       ipetoipe respects the following environment variables:

       IPELATEXDIR
	      the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.

       IPEDEBUG
	      set this to 1 for debugging output.
