Inkscape is crashing

[tracyselena]

I just discovered and started using Inkscape today. I opened one .ai file...made a small change it it and saved it. Everything worked fine.

Then I tried my second file and when I open it...it crashes the program all together.

Here's a screencam video of what happens. I'm not sure what to check.

Thank you every one!! Looking forward to using this software and saving myself $75 Canadian a month from Adobe.

Welcome to Inkscape Community!

Since I'm not familiar with Mac systems, it's a little hard to follow your video.  After you select the file in your file manager, and click to open, then you should see Inkscape open with that file.  I don't understand the part where you go to the menu at the top of your screen.

Would you be able to share the 2 AI files with us -- one that opens and one that won't open?  Then we can investigate on our own systems.
