Fresh Inscape 1.4 installed on Win11

Opened Manage Extensions, Install Packages: The app hung.

Restarted then I downloaded the Hatch Fill package and extracted it to the path shown in Preferences (C:\Users\kupon\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\extensions), closed and opened Inscape, opened Manage Extensions, and saw this exception:

Orphan Extensions old and manually installed extensions

So I guess you can't manually install extensions in 1.4.

Clicked on Install Packages and got the endlessly rotating wheel. Escaped out of it and got this:

I've tested https://inkscape.org/~Moini/★hatch-fill+1

on

Inkscape 1.4 (86a8ad7, 2024-10-11)

Windows 11.

Works fine for me. 

I just extracted the zip file to the normal user extension folder.

Did you install Inkscape via the windows store or from .exe or .msi from inkscape.org ? 

Thanks for trying. Something's fubar on my end. Just did a new msi download from inkscape and reinstalled. Likewise a new download of Hatch Fill from inkscape and extracted to the extension folder with the same results. When I try to install from Manage extensions it endlessly loops.  

If you don't have any special templates / extensions / settings.

The next step is to delete the entire user folder at Roaming>Inkscape
