    Hi veryone! Hope you're all having a nice life! :)

    I downloaded Inkscape-3bc2e81-x86_64.AppImage, it starts fine but when trying to open any file it crashed unexpectedly. If run from terminal, these messages appear 

    Setting _INKSCAPE_GC=disable as a workaround for broken libgc
    Run experimental bundle that bundles everything
     

    This one above appears when inkscape starts 

    (org.inkscape.Inkscape:1011225): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:38:06.885: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser' does not contain a key named 'show-type-column'
    `trap' para punto de parada/seguimiento
     

    and this one when it crashes. System info:

    OS: Debian GNU/Linux 10 64 bits
    KDE Plasma: 5.14.5
    Qt: 5.11.3
    KDE Frameworks: 5.54.0
    kernel: 5.7.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
    CPU: 2 × AMD E-300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
     

    Any help/advice is really appreciated. Thanks in advance for your answers! :)

    Seems to be this: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/1616

    There is a workaround discussed. Please add your experience.

    Thanks for the reply. However, it's mentioned to work with Gnome while I use KDE's plasma desktop and not sure how to apply and how that will work in my case.

    If it is important for you using APPIMAGE you should try to use the workaround suggested:

    Downloading the newer schema file from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/c925221aa804aec344bdfec148a17d23299b6c59/gtk/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml and installing it in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml, running "glib-compile-schemas ." in that directory and using Alt-F2 r to restart gnome-shell seems to resolve the issue with Inkscape 1.0.1.

    I'd prefer to use ".local/share/glib-2.0/schemas" rather than messing up with a system folder.

    However in Debian you still have more options available to get the latest Inkscape version:
