Thanks a lot!

Perhaps it's worth discussing it in the help section in term/svg.trm.

Also, why not make it a default behaviour? It's quite tricky to find out 
why you get same plots with different data :)

While gnuplot does warn about e.g. a dot in the value of "name", it in 
fact proceeds with creating the file correctly!:

gnuplot> filename = 'figure_pc_tht_0.svg'
gnuplot> set term svg dynamic name filename
Terminal type set to 'svg'
                                    ^
          name must contain only alphanumerics or _
...

gnuplot> !ls *.png
...
figure_pc_tht_0.svg_image_03.png
...

Best,
Sylwester
