Beginners' Questions Extract Image not working

    I have some svg files with images I pasted into them from screenshots. I want to extract them as bitmaps - JPEG, PNG, BMP, I don't mind.

    I right-click on an image, select "Extract image", un-tick the "Link extracted images" box (because I don't want to change the svg, I just want the image for other purposes), and click Apply.

    This appears:

    Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate thee results will not be as expected.
    D:\Program Files\Inkscape\bin\pythonw.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'D:\\Files\\Cards'

    I am on Windows 10 running v1.2.1 which I installed from the 64 bit .exe installer over either v1.0 or v1.1 yesterday. No extensions or anything else relevant that I can think of.

    Any suggestions? Maybe try reinstalling on the C: drive?

    I tried the search, but oddly enough just the word "extract" provided no results. Is the search working?

    Tried that just now, I got the same message but the image still got extracted to the location I had chosen. Have you checked if the images you extracted aren't on your disk now?

    Reinstalling it to C:\Program Files solved the problem. The image files had not been extracted when I was getting the message.
