Re: [Inkscape-devel] Question about file opening function

But when I call these funtions in another thread, it crash inkscape. Is there any required initialization before I call these this function?

Inkscape is not multithread-safe. You cannot call arbitrary functions from different threads.

To open a file by its path, you need to use sp_file_open. However, the argument must be UTF-8 encoded, so you need to use Glib::ustring instead of std::string, and call it like this: sp_file_open(path.data(), NULL);

If you're trying to do something related to D-Bus, consult it with Soren (aka "Glimmer Labs").
