Inkscape 1.4.4 release candidate available for testing!
by Maren Hachmann 25 Apr '26

25 Apr '26

Inkscape 1.4.4 Release Candidate ================================ Inkscape 1.4.4rc is now available for testing for all three supported operating systems (Linux, macOS, Windows)! For the first time, we also provide packages for Windows on Arm. Being a pre-release, this version is not intended for production use, but to help us smooth out any issues that should not show up in the actual release which is due in less than 2 weeks from now. You can download it from: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4.4rc BUGFIX and MAINTENANCE RELEASE ------------------------------ Inkscape 1.4.4 will be a maintenance and bugfix release, which brings you 20 crash fixes, more than 25 bug fixes and performance improvements, a couple small new features, and will come with more than 25 updated translations. See the release notes draft for more information: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.4.4 Like the previous version, Inkscape 1.4.4 will also be a 'bridge release' in the sense that it can be used to convert the planned Inkscape 1.5 multipage file format to the pre-1.5 multipage format. Versions lower than Inkscape 1.4.3 will not be able to interpret pages created in Inkscape versions 1.5 and upwards. Opening a document in Inkscape 1.4.3 and saving it will convert it to the current ('old') page format. Background: While the 'old' format of pages in Inkscape is a custom addition that only works in Inkscape, the new format will make use of the svg:view element, which is standardized and can work in other SVG viewers, too. Find more information about this in MR #7525. KNOWN ISSUES ____________ * On macOS, if Inkscape has been started from the command line, extensions will not work (both in the graphical user interface as well as when only using the Inkscape commandline). Many import / export file formats provided by Python extensions are also affected. This is a security feature added in 1.4.3 for official macOS .dmg files, which fixes CVE-2025-15523. Learn more about it in our bug tracker at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/work_items/6047 * On Wayland (display server), depending upon the Gtk version your system uses, a crash may occur when moving a docked tab, or closing a floating dialog. Trying to undock a dialog may result in the wrong dialog being undocked (https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/6013). Report Bugs ----------- Use at your own risk, and please report all bugs you find in our Inbox bug tracker on GitLab! https://inkscape.org/report ----------------------------- Join an Inkscape project team ----------------------------- Inkscape is always happy to welcome new contributors in various areas: code, docs, translation, UX, bug triaging, or even outreach!

Inkscape 1.4.3 ============== Inkscape 1.4.3 is now available for all three supported operating systems (Linux, macOS, Windows)! You can download it from: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.4.3 BUGFIX and MAINTENANCE RELEASE ------------------------------ Inkscape 1.4.3 is be a maintenance and bugfix release, which brings you fixes for many critical or irritating bugs, and even a few new features. The most important fixes and changes in this release are: * 24 crash/freeze fixes many of which prevented users from opening certain files or exporting certain objects with Inkscape 1.4.2 * almost 100 bug fixes and small improvements, among them: * JPEG/JPG export works again on Windows. * The problem with user interface text showing up as rectangles ('tofu') instead of letters if certain fonts are installed on macOS is finally resolved. * Ungrouping big groups is faster again. * All pasting options ('on page', 'width'/'height'/'size'/…) are now accessible from the right-click menu on canvas. * The Measure tool snaps again at its end point, so you can make accurate measurements again. * The LPE dialog now offers to convert Line, Polyline or Polygon SVG objects to paths before applying a path effect to them * When resizing the Inkscape window, the buttons in the Commands bar (copy, paste, open, dialog shortcuts) show up one by one instead of waiting for the window to get big enough to show the second half at once. * When converting strokes to paths, patterns and gradients are no longer lost. * Aligning on a circle or arc now works more reliably. * Text on Path now also works with rectangles. * Many improvements have been made to the PDF import. * Results from path operations no longer end up at the bottom of the object stack unexpectedly and the Split Path operation has learnt to better handle nested shapes. * The current layer by default is now the one where you have last selected an object (might need a preferences reset to apply). * Whether the current page is changed when you select an object on it has been made optional. * You can now make small changes to how Inkscape looks without needing to modify the full theme file. * The bug that sometimes made it impossible to make gradients and patterns fully opaque has been prevented from reaching adulthood (it has been around since 2007!). * and 25 updated interface languages as well as 13 updated documentation languages! See the release notes for more information (also about known issues and workarounds): https://inkscape.org/doc/release_notes/1.4.3/Inkscape_1.4.3.html Inkscape 1.4.3 is also a 'bridge release' in the sense that it can be used to convert the planned Inkscape 1.5 multipage file format to the pre-1.5 multipage format.

Hello from Belgium, I have just installed inkscape 1.4.2. I used the software on a big screen connected to my notebook. Now I'am working on the native screen. I opened a document and I want to open the properties of the document but I can see the window. I put it on the left of my big screen and now it is out the area of the small screen. The window doesn't see that the size of the screen has changed. I hope you understand me. JC

Trying to open an old .ai file
by Server 20 Apr '25

20 Apr '25

Dear all, I am running Inkscape 1.4 (e7c3feb1, 2024-10-09) under Mac OS 15.3.2 (Sequoia). Since moving to Sequoia I can’t open my own legacy .ai files. Inkscape simply says “unable to load”. The file opens in jumpshare.com <http://jumpshare.com/>, more or less, but I can’t do anything with it there. Any thoughts about how to get access to these old files? Cheers, Dave

SVGs from Inkscape do not display correctly in Firefox or EoG
by Fernando Lozano 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

Hi there, I already asked at my employee company (Red Hat) and Ask Fedora, so far got no useful answers. I even created a bug on Fedora (link later in this message) I'm a long time Fedora user and occasional Inkscape user. My main use of inkscape is post-processing of SVG files generated by online tools such as google slides. On Fedora 40 and Inkscape 1.3.2 I find that Firefox and Google Chome cannot render SVGs from Inkscape. They display an empty/white page. And Eye of Gnome displays the same files as an empty transparent background. Issues and workarounds I found on google, such as exporting to SVG 1.1 and configuring preferences related to paths on SVG 1.1 didn't make any difference. To check that I was not crazy, I created a VM with Inkscape 1.1.1 (from RHEL 9) and files from that, strarting from the same google slide, work well on both the older Firefox in that VM and the newer Firefox on my Fedora machine. It seems to be an issue from Inkscape itself. It may be someting specific to SVG files creates from Google Slides. Funny thing is that, a few months ago, SVGs from google wouldn't display in web browser, and would work only after cleaning from Inkscape. Now it's the opposite: the files from google do work as-is, but stop working after cleaning from Inkscape. I opened 2313610 - SVG files from Inkscape don't render in a web browser (nor eog) 4 [1] on Fedora bugs about this issue. It contains two test files, one the export from google slides, other after edits by Inkscape. On the Fedora forums, someone proposed a proprietary tool, Boxy SVG. It can take the file from google slides and make edits, and the results from it work on both EoG and Firefox. But it lacks many features I'm used to from Inkscape, and I'd prefer staying with open source software. And Boxy fails to display files from Inkscape, displaying an empty write rectangle, just like firefox and chrome do. So is this a bug or regression with Inkscape itself? Or something specific to Fedora's build? I got the same issues with both the Flatpack and the RPMs from Fedora.

Debian inkscape current stable repo?
by Tobias Damisch 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

Hi there community of my favorite vector graphics editor, I have made the switch to Linux Mint Debian Edition lately, and found that it, naturally, does not accept ppa style packet sources, and the native debian apt repo sadly offers only an outdated version of inkscape. Using the AppImage works, but has disadvantages, as it is not possible to just dock it to the taskbar under Cinnamon, and when I write my own .desktop file for it, still it doesn't group well on the taskbar, and it does not automatically upgrade to the current stable version like using the ubuntu ppa does. Is there a debian-style package source for current stable? I couldn't find one. Other suggestions on solving the above issues? Cheers, Tobias

Question related to path and path ends
by vincent Dupaquis 24 Aug '24

24 Aug '24

Hello, I am not an artist at all, and find inskcape very convinient for doing schematics explaining processes, block diagrams etc. I have 2 questions related to paths and path ends. - When trying to align a path (with an arrow at the end) with another box, I always end-up with the path end "glueing" itself to the box's border. I would have expected that the arrow's end glues itself instead of the path itself, else you are obliged to manualy move the path backwards by a few pixels. - Sometimes I want to "extend" a path with another one. Imagine I have a path going from left to right, with an arrow on its right end. If I want to add another path on its left end, I can do this, for instance starting from the left hand, and going upwards elsewhere. When I do so, at the end, the arrow ends-up being at the new and, instead of staying on the right end, as originaly. I suspect this is because on the original path I had the arrow end being at the "final" end (compared to be beginning), and that by extending the path, I changed the "final" end, the arrow setting itself on this new end instead of staying where it was before. I wanted to share with you these 2 things I am used to now, as they could be frustrating for a new user. Last, thanks for introducing pages in the recent Inkscape version !!! Best regards, Vincent. -- *Vincent Dupaquis* Software security & Cryptography expert 06 24 58 17 05 /Europarc de Pichaury Bâtiment B8 1330 rue Guillibert Gautier de la Lauzière 13290 Aix-en-Provence/ www.trusted-objects.com <http://www.trusted-objects.com>

I suggest access to the text tool be placed in the Text submenu
by Steve Litt 17 Aug '24

17 Aug '24

Hi all, In the next version, I suggest access to the text tool be placed in the Text submenu, either right above or right below Text>Text_and_Font. So it would be Text>Text_tool. I haven't looked at the source code in 7 years, but I think this would be as simple as adding menu item Text>Text tool and having it call win.tool-switch('Text') on left click. Icons and hotkeys are wonderful time savers, but in my opinion they don't relieve the need of a functionality being reachable from the menu, so the functionality is reachable without dangerous trial and error. Also, for some unknown reason, Shift-t didn't invoke the text tool, although F8 did. I tried looking for the key bindings, but all I found was in an extension called "Jesseink", and those weren't what was needed. So what do you think? Would you be able to add the text tool to the text menu? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com

Substituting colors in Inkscape
by Steve Litt 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Hi all, I have a sketch .jpg whose lines are green. I want to convert the green lines to #FF86F8. Is there a way to do this in Inkscape? I know this is really a job for a pixel editor, but now that Gimp requires a PhD to operate, and all the rest of the Linux pixel editors are junk, I'm hoping to get Inkscape to do it. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com

Are there workarounds for dependence on deprecated-simple extensions?
by Kevin Cole 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hi, I'm running - Pop! OS 22.04 LTS - Inkscape 1.1.2 (0a00cf5339, 2022-02-04) - Python 3.10.12 Recently, I went looking for an SVG to POV converter and found the Inkscape Extensions Gallery had an Inkscape to POVray extension -- with a link to a newer, improved version on an external site. Also, while browsing the gallery I thought I might someday use the Render Barcode extension. However, they both want to use simplepath, simpletransform, cubicsuperpath, and cspsubdiv, which I find in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex/deprecated-simple/, but which the extensions themselves do not find. Is there a standard, recommended way to handle the problem? __________ ** (org.inkscape.Inkscape:3132384): WARNING **: 11:07:04.374: Failed to find resource file 'simplepath.py'.

Discoverable way to do the same thing as the Text Tool
by Steve Litt 02 Aug '24

02 Aug '24

Hi all, I use the Text Tool, the little icon containing an A and a cursor, quite a bit and am now writing documentation on how to do things. To a newbie all those icons get confusing, so I'm looking for way to use the text tool from the menu system, and couldn't find it. I know I can also press the t key, but this isn't really discoverable either. How do you invoke the Text Tool from the menu system? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
