    Hi! I think I have an issue related to the $PATH variable :

    I can’t open a svg with Inkscape with “Open With” contextual menu. I can’t either drag and drop a svg into Inkscape to open it. It says “Failed to load the requested file /home/…/file.svg”. When I use Open or Save as, the browse window always points to the home directory. In short, it appears Inkscape ignores any relative path.

    $ which inkscape returns: /snap/bin/inkscape

    I am running Xubuntu and the issue appears after a snap upgrade to Inkscape v1.2.

    Can you help me solving this issue?

    An uninstall and reinstall may be useful.  Feel free to report this as a bug.
