Trace bitmap stopped working.  Someone in another forum told me to install the latest inkscape.  The first day, it worked fine.  Now nothing is working right.  I struggled for days with things that were simple for me before.  Import PDF or SNG either by opening or drag and drop.  Trace bitmap.  Path to Object.  I can now get to the final step...GCode tools.  I make orientation points, but when I get to gcode path, it tells me the directory does not exist.  It does.  Can someone please tell me what to do?  How can I get my gcodes from Inkscape?  I'm so frustrated and ready to give up.

Try to reset Inkscape Preferences at Preferences->System->User Preferences=Reset Preferences and restart Inkscape.

Thank you Polygon!

 This is my first post. I have the Feb 2022 version of Inkscape downloaded last week. I am trying to load gcode onto my PC so that I can export it to grbl(Candle) to a controller for a Genmitsu 4030 CNC machine (2D)

I have been able to generate a .ngc extension in Path to Gcode/preferences but I am stuck sending it to anywhere (like desktop) as when applying it warns the directory doesn't exist (regardless of which directory I nominate that does exist. I have reset preferences as advised but it made no difference. I am completely a beginner in this field and wonder if there is some basic simple mistake I am making. It seems as though the Inkscape will happily transfer a .svg file but does not recognize the PC to take a .ngc file.  Any suggestions would be most welcome

If you are using Win 11 it can be that you have to give access to Inkscape folder in Windows Security .

Try to click on time down in right corner and see if there are any security warnings

Thanks Space67, I will give that a try.

I did find another post suggesting saving to a flash drive which did work but a bit messy compared to your solution.

Thanks for your help.
