Hi everybody, this is my first post here. Sorry to start with something off-topic like that but see, for some reason I can't use the Trace Bitmap dialog a second time. I can launch a fresh instance of Inkscape and then use it on an image (not vector or path, I know the difference I think lol) and it will work fine, but if I try to do it again on another image, it won't work. I tried recording a video of what happens (both icons in the video are originally raster images that I then proceeded to try to convert to paths). Thanks in advance!

(P.S. I tried looking this up and I tried clearing preferences but nothing has worked so far, it is really frustrating)


(In case it doesn't show up for you, you can copy and paste this and remove the spaces https: //put. re/player?id=JkoSM5FK.mp4 )

Have you checked if there is a bug report for this? Did the update to the ppa version help?

Welcome to the forum!

Double-check your Inkscape version, please?  This was a bug a few versions back, but was fixed.

Hhm, I'm actually still using the version you report, 0.92.3.  But I can't reproduce it.  Although I'm on Windows, so that might be the difference.
