Directory does not exist #16

Closed Thijsvanzwam closed 3 years ago

Thijsvanzwam commented 3 years ago

When hitting "apply" in the lasertool tab under extensions, the following error comes up:

Directory does not exist! Please specify existing directory at options tab!

changed the output folder to my desktop but the error remains. Could I be doing something wrong?

Oh, and I have to use the LaserTools 0.9 version with Inkscape 1.0.1 as the 1.0 version crashes Inkscape to the point of complete reinstall...

I'm running Inkscape on a Mac

I believe you need to have an absolute path.

1.0 version crashes Inkscape to the point of complete reinstall...

What version of Inkscape are you using?

Thijsvanzwam commented 3 years ago

path I use is: /usr/username/desktop see what else I can try...

I use the most recent version, downloaded it today.

I believe OS X home directories are /Users/ not /usr/

ok. got it to work. used LaserTools.py from the 0.9 version. all other files are from the 1.0 folder.
