    Inkscape 1.0 is working fine on my Linux box running Mint 19.2 with cinnamon. Recently I installed the Inkstitch 1.0 extension. It appears correctly in the list of extensions.

     

    When I follow the routine in the Inkstitch beginners video

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkb5UvsZUNg

    at around 3 minutes it says to draw a shape, convert it to a path, and click the extension params. When i do this I get the message below. Can anyone help?

    That seems to be saying that inkstich isn't installed or isn't installed at the expected location :-/

    But it appears in the list of extensions in the inkscape window.  The preferences say it should be installed in /home/zb/.config/inkscape/extensions. The directory listing looks OK and I have RW privileges on all the files. The full version number of my Inkstitch is v1.27.2

    The problem isn't the inx files, it whereever that inkstitch program is located. It should be in a directory inkstitch/bin/ but I can't see that in your file list.
