starting Inkscape 1.0.0 (4035a4f) on Mac Mojave
by Alistair Kwan 07 May '20

07 May '20

A couple of weeks ago, Inkscape 1.0.0 was running happily on my Mojave machine. Today, it won’t start. Instead, MacOS gives this error message: The last time you opened Inkscape, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its windows again? There are two option buttons: Don’t Reopen, and Reopen. Both have the same effect: Inkscape vanishes. I have tried: - trashing pref files - trashing app support files - trashing Inkscape.app and re-installing from a fresh download Context: Inkscape 1.0.0 (4035a4f) MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 RAM: 24 GB Processor: 3.2 GHz core i5 Where should I be looking next to fix this?

Hi all – I'm trying to design some coins and need to place text such that it wraps along the curved rim of the coin. I can't figure out how to get a text box to curve or wrap. Any ideas? Here's a photo of a silver coin that has text like I've described: https://imgur.com/gallery/CuugtEA Thanks, JD

GitHub renders it.

https://github.com/vivebox/TREE3/blob/master/TREE(3).svg , GitHub renders it, but inkscape doesn't. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/href , they've deprecated xlink namespace, however, inkscape still uses some outdated attributes.

Re: Issues with cutting paths
by Dave Roberts 15 Mar '20

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.

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
