Inkstitch getting error: frozen importlib._bootstrap

[Gorinapkins]

Whenever I transfer an embroidery file to my USB stick I "save as a copy" or "save as" in the "PES" format. After that when I want to continue working on the project (open the simulator or open the params) I get the error message below. Then I have to restart Inkscape/stitch to continue working.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "scipy__init.py", line 214, in getattr__ KeyError: '_lib'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

What could I do to get rid of that error message? After restarting inkscape it works again until the next time I save the project as a copy.

Best regards and thank you for your awesome work! Gori

Hi there, does anybody has the same issue or is it just me? How do you export your PES files to your USB stick to not get this error message?

Best, Gori

I have weird issues (maybe this, but it's been so long since I tried it that I don't remember the error) when saving to mine, but I assumed that was because I am a big weirdo and so mine are mounted as Samba shares. (They're these rather than actual USB sticks https://silverseams.com/tutorials/converting_a_usb_drive_embroidery_machine_to_wifi/index.html )

Maybe it's an issue with all mounted drives.

Anyway my workaround is just saving them to the regular drive and then copying them over to the mounted one.

I have an update on this: When I plug in the USB stick back in the computer Ink Stitch woprks normally. So it must be a failure due to the removal of the external storage. This problem did not exist befor the latest update of Inkstitch.

Can confirm this issue and workaround with restart or plugging the usb stick back
