I apologize, I wasn't aware these two forums were connected, to be clear I asked on the community first, then receiving no replies there I posted on the inkscape forum.

Yep

Well I renamed the file, but is a file size of 0 kB, so I am thinking it just went "poof" However a new preferences.xml is in the folder, and no error when opening Inkscape. Good to go for now.

No crash or update, while Inkscape was open, that I am aware of, Windows 10, Inkscape 0.92.4.
Thanks for the speedy reply

After many years of using Inkscape, this morning I get this error dialog. Amy ideas?

just for fun I tried Extensions>Render> Lasercut Jigsaw and got this message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Lasercut-jigsaw.py", line 879, in <module> e.affect() File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 268, in affect self.effect() File &q...

i just did a few battery level icons for fun, I noticed that 2 or 3 or the corners had "notches" in them and were not "nice and square". I fiddled with the edit path and scaled them to get the notches to go away, is this a normal condition? or is there something I don't know abou...

Tried that when you click browse, inkscape shows but when you click ok, it doesn't stay in the list under "other programs" Going the other way as you mentioned svg files are associated with IE, and you cannot remove the checkmark.

A week or so ago I noticed that IE9 made itself the default handler of svg files. I tried re associating them with Inkscape, in the "open with" dialog, you can browse to the inkscape exe, and select it but it will not stay. So I tried the other way around, selecting a program, and selectin...

OK, on default program issue it appears IE is "hardwired" to open svg files, there is no changing it so far, I will tackle that another day.

nope, in fact Windows won't even let me change the default program for svg files, to Inkscape, I will have to find out why that is.

Lately Inkscape had been getting strange in it's behavior, certain fonts can't be found, and certain svg files I have downloaded won't open I have used Inkscape for several years, and have never had problems like this. I am running 0.48.4. I will add a sample of one of the files and maybe someone ca...

No I have some road sign fonts, and they do not work now, but they used to, pretty sure it is a glitch.

I have been using Inkscape for some time, today I get a "font not found on system" error, the font(s) in question are properly installed on my system. I read about this on some searches but I couldn't find a way to correct it. Running 0.48.4, on a clean install.
Any idea?

Thanks

I am trying to draw a specific radius on some rectangle corners so I set up the x radius at 1.5", then I tried the y radius at the same dimension. Well it doesn't see be correct. Do I use the x or y radius for the best results? How do I get my radius right? A proper specific tutorial would be p...
