Print Preview error

Postby januaryk » Sun Jan 31, 2016 5:55 am

Anyone else having an issue with print preview? I now receive an error stating "error launching preview - no application registered as handling this file"

Please see my reply in this earlier topic: Re: Inkscape 0.91 on Mac cannot "Print preview":

As a workaround, use 'File > Save a copy' and choose “Portable Document Format (*.pdf)“ as file format. The exported PDF file can be (pre-)viewed in Preview.app (and printed from there, too).
