I am running Inkscape 1.4 on Windows 10. I upgraded to 1.4 about a month ago, and it has worked without issue since then - until yesterday.
When trying to open any .svg file, I get the following error, "Unspecified fatal error encountered, aborting." I even get the error when just trying to open a new document.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Inkscape 1.4 using both the .msi and the .exe file, and the error persists.
@gwarren2525 I can't find the issue, but someone reported this on Gitlab, and the solution is to delete the Inkscape preferences by pasting this: %APPDATA%\Roaming\inkscape\ into the file explorer's URL bar, and deleting preferences.xml within, then restarting Inkscape. The problem seems to stem from an incorrect part of the software recording its data in the preferences.
Itinx - you have a link to that at gitlab? Maybe some keywords for it so I have search it. I would like to follow that. Might explain some of the bizarre issues I have been having with 1.4.
Beyond the Basics Unspecified fatal error encountered, aborting.

I remember it having something to do with the preferences, in particular
/options/onimport; but I can't find the issue. I'll ask around.Itinx - deleting preferences.xml didn't seem to fix it. I still get the same error.
