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 đ„
Thanks,

Re: Issues with cutting paths
by Dave Roberts
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 Iâm 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, Iâd 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?
Cheers,
Dave

Issues with cutting paths
by Dave Roberts
Hi,
Iâm a new user migrating over from Illustrator. Iâm 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 âcut out from paths and shapesâ 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 âcutâ. The highlight on the nodes disappears, but the path remains intact.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Cheers,
Dave

Help

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 âadditional data from script executed.â How do I get the extension to work?
Thanks,
