Hello everyone.  I am in need of some help.  I tried to open Inkscape tonight and a window I have never seen before, titled SVG Input is the only thing that pops up.  I can click OK, or Cancel, which both gives me a box that says Inkscape has crashed.  Previous to this it worked as it always had.  I didn't do anything, I didn't change anything.  Im not aware of anything that I did different.  I am a very simple user.  I know almost zero computer lingo, so I feel helpless and hopeless.  I included screen shots of the popup windows that I get each time I try to open Inkscape.  Im using a MacBook with Sonoma 14.3.1

Also, a little side note,  I am never able to open Inkscape "normally"   I have always had to open a previous document, or else Inkscape will never load and open otherwise.

Any help would be much appreciated, Thank You.

I´d get me free AppCleaner.app - launch it and drag Inkscape.app icon into its window - it will collect all installed files - delete all and empty trash - install latest (Intel or AppleSilicon from here: https://inkscape.org/release/1.3.2/mac-os-x/ you even didn´t tell Mac specs) and open Inkscape. Fingers crossed.

Polygon,  Thank you for your help.  If I use AppCleaner will it delete my files I have made in Inkscape?  I really don't want to loose those drawings I have.

No - it´ll will collect and make a list of all related Inkscape instalments in the hidden Library folder. It´s not touching your user folder. After the list is displayed you still can disable certain files from deletion if needed.

Polygon,

Thank you so much.  I did the AppCleaner, and reinstalled Inkscape and it worked.  Im up and running again. 

Thank you again.

Cool.👍
