Possible bug in Inkscape 0.92 Export Plot extension
Hi folks
I'm emailing the developer list to see if I need to submit a bug report for an issue I haven't been able to resolve through the User Forum.
I am using Inkscape 0.92 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 to cut vinyl using a Liyu SC631 cutter, connected using a USB port.
Before I updated to Ubuntu 18.04.3 I used Inkcut without any problems. I understand that Inkcut is now deprecated so I have been trying to use the Export/Plot extension instead.
The issue is that when I do this the cutter cuts an extra, unwanted, line direct from the last point of the drawing back to the origin, spoiling the item being cut.
The problem does not occur when I use Inkcut.
Is this a case of "operator error", in which case what am I doing wrong, or is it a bug which I need to report?
Any replies gratefully received.
Gareth
Hi Gareth,
You should try the 1.0 version of Inkscape before reporting the issue to the inkscape tracker.

just for curiosity, I tried running this extension on Windows, Inkscape 1.1-dev (ed187d8, 2019-12-24). I got the error message below. I would suggest contacting the original developer, which is: Copyright (C) 2013 Sebastian Wüst, sebi@timewaster.de
