Is there an updated Inkscape version that's compatible with MacOS Catalina 10.15.3 or later? I updated my operating system and now Inkscape no longer works 😥 Thanks, Holly

Re: Issues with cutting paths

Hi Maren & David, First, this is almost consistent on my system. The variation is that the erase line disappears (as you would expect) but does nothing with the underlying object. In no case have I seen it working on my system. I have removed the preferences file, so I’m working with the defaults set on installation. There are two issues here for me. First the Cut tool does not cut paths. I was trying the erase tool as a work-around. Second, the, is the non-functional erase tool. I am unwilling to restore Mojave, but if I did, I’d go back to Illustrator because I know how to use it. I like Inkscape, but to be a replacement for me, I need the cut tool. Do I need to make this into a formal bug report?

Until the issues are resolved, I have been using the 0.92.4 version on Mac OS Mojave. You will have to build & install the 0.92.4 version using MacPorts.

I am not using paths in my current drawings so I don't know if it will have the issues you are seeing in the beta builds. > > David

Issues with cutting paths
by Dave Roberts 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

Hi, I’m a new user migrating over from Illustrator. I’m running a Mac (Catalina 10.15.3) and Inkscape 1.0beta2 (2b71d25, 2019-12-03). I have deleted the preferences file prior to this test. From a new, empty document, I created a couple of shapes. Following an online tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO7TU7N3sn0) my installation does not cut paths using the eraser and the ‘cut out from paths and shapes’ setting. I get a [red] line (path) as in the tutorial, but it remains after I lift the mouse and the underlying shape remains intact. I can delete the red line in the usual way. On a second shape, I convert to a path, highlight a pair of nodes and click ‘cut’. The highlight on the nodes disappears, but the path remains intact. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Cheers, Dave

I downloaded an extension from your Wiki page for a laser cut box. When I try to use it, a box pops up that says “additional data from script executed.” How do I get the extension to work? Thanks, JT

Dear all, The next board meeting is on Friday. Because we have several people who aren't able to attend, this will be a lighter than usual meeting. Please see the agenda here: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Board_Meetings Timer: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20200306T10&p1=202 We probably won't have enough board members to vote on anything. So hopefully we'll be able to spend some time talking about other things. Thanks everyone. Best Regards, Martin Owens
