Beyond the Basics Mac OS - Inkscape keeps crashing

    Hi there! I typically don't need to post within this forum because I usually find answers to my questions quite easily, however, I am not finding anything that could possibly help with my issue today.

    On 7/19/23 I updated to 1.2.2. and I am using a MacBook Air with OS Monterey. (Forgive me if that is not the correct way to give the Inkscape version.) I decided to update because my previous version was having issues with crashing when I would need more than one file open. I have not had any issues the last couple of weeks until today. It will take about 5 tries to get one file opened. Sometimes it will crash almost immediately upon launching or sometimes I get past launching, but then when I simply highlight a file to open, it will crash. The crashing has no rhyme or reason because it does not always happen when only attempting to open a file.

    Is there something I need to do to try and fix this? Do I need to submit an official "bug" report?

    Like I said above, I don't usually post so I might not be asking my question correctly.

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks! Dee

    Well...I see that this has already been posted/sent, but it did not populate when I looked for it prior to my post above: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/8914

    I will wait to see if a fix is issued. Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue.

    Thanks! Dee

    @janicebell replied to this thread on 7/27/23 and I replied to that comment...both of which are now deleted...why?? This is so strange!

    Anyways...she offered me some advice, which I looked into. I updated as many things as I possibly could per her info, but that did not help. I have resorted to a previous version of Inkscape (1.1.1) on my MacBook Air and at least now I can open a file without it crashing. I guess time will tell if it crashes again when I need to open multiple files at the same time.

    janicebell was a chatbot that slipped in.

    Mac OS 12.7.1 -- crashes with wither file open or file import.  Have to force quit.  Reinstalled but still fails.  There is no visible Preference.xml.  Out of ideas.  Tks.
