English is not my main language but "should be able to" is not the same as "shouldn't be able to" It clearly says 2.1.0 should be able to read the 2.1.1 beta. Now you got me confused, mate.

Exactly. That's not happening. What I said in my original post that reads wrong? Help me with the wording, so I can be more accurate about this issue.

@Pauls Any updates on opening beta files on stable version? This rule of blocking is good for stable versions but in Beta it is kind of unhelpful.

Thanks! I guess your post was helpful if I found it first, but I deleted the app and re-installed it. That fix the whole problem. My guess they need to work with the update engine, it messed up the app after. Remember, not all users are going to be happy if they need to work around the terminal or library to fix things, so they will not use Inkscape on Linux.

I created a document using the Beta version, quit the app and when I double-clicked the document it crashed. I tried to start the app after that and it's impossible. Now I can't even open the doc in the stable version. (That needs to be fixed for issues like this one, I think if we're using a beta we still can open the doc in the stable version as well or the doc will be lost forever!) Here's a video and a copy of the report. Albertkinng Screenshot - 03-03-2023.mp4 report.txt

Happens to me too. I can live with this limitation but if they can fix that, it will be great for illustrators like us!

Well, I have already solved the issue of copying the contents and pasting them on a new document of Designer (not the beta) so, I don't have the original documents anymore. I will point out that I never use link graphics on Designer (personal preference) and in this case in particular the beaver cartoon (made in designer iPad app) was saved to iCloud as a designer file and opened in Designer Beta as a default document.Do you think it was considered a link?

It didn't work either. You can watch in the original uploaded video (min 1:50) I tried saving as a new file naming it "test" and it won't let me. Here's a screenshot of the privacy settings showing the app as well.

@MikeTO Yes. It has access to the desktop. I’ve been using it with no issues before. I created the character with the Beta iPad app, saved it in iCloud and went to the desktop and extracted it. I open the file with Beta desktop app and add the text, warp it and finished design. When I hit save the error came up. I try again and because the issue repeats, I recorded the video screen to shared. I ended up copying the artwork and paste it on the stable version app. Maybe is a bug importing documents made on iPad app?

I ended up creating a logo from scratch, and it won't let me save the file! (I just copy and paste it to the stable version and it works fine) Albertkinng Screenshot - 03-01-2023.mp4

Yes, all my work is on external drives. I have used a project manager network app to access my document files for a long time now. Never had a problem until now. Main drives are on an external dock and others are on a shared cloud such as Google Drive, Dropbox and so on. (I'm running a Mac Mini M1 / 16g RAM with latest Ventura OS)

Well, I think those formats are not the issue here, AVIF is the one giving us problems.

Thanks for the info! Appreciated.

I downloaded Inkscape and I don't get the results you have there, even with a simple image. If you have time, please throw some tips here to achieve that amazing result you were able to get.

I was able to install Potrace to see what you mean, however I can't find that app after installation. Maybe it works just with terminal? Let me know how this Potrace works, so I can be sure I didn't miss anything.

@firstdefence I was going crazy over here, man! Thanks for clarifying!

@firstdefence I’m confused. Did I send you that logo by mistake?

Where is the AMSOIL logo? I don't have it in my document.

@JohnHolland.Art do that and see if it’s works for you.

I wasn’t using designer iPad for comics because the coloring became a tedious work. But this tool, this amazing tool by itself has change my world completely. FullSizeRender.MOV

A client sent me an Adobe Illustrator file to work on a project. I open the project and see that one layer is showing a curve content but is actually a raster one. And I don't see any mask applied on it. Any idea why I'm getting this? Thanks in advance. Albertkinng Screenshot - 02-24-2023.mp4

@stokerg I missed your post. I will do what you’re suggesting and let you know.

You are not going to believe what I’m about to say but here I go… My main language is Spanish. I was born and raised in the Caribbean. I started to speak english in 2000 when I moved to USA. To make the story short, In 1989 I learned to use a Mac with the system in English. And to this day, I can’t even use a computer in my own language. I feel like home if everything is in English! Lol! It’s me who keep thinking in Spanish and changing all the names back and forth.
