Bug Description
This is probably an extension of older reports but they were on earlier releases where the advice was to move up to earlier beta versions of 0.47.
When I start Inkscape it briefly appears in the Menu Bar and Dock, then disappears entirely. Activity Monitor detects nothing, and the Console messages are:
20/12/09 4:30:03 PM [0x0-0xd20d2]
20/12/09 4:30:03 PM [0x0-0xd20d2]
20/12/09 4:30:03 PM [0x0-0xd20d2]
Running 10.6.1 on 2.5 GHz 17' Macbook Pro
1) How do you start Inkscape?
- by double-clicking its application icon in the finder?
- by double-clicking a SVG file in the finder?
- on the command-line or from a script?
2) Does X11 launch when you start Inkscape?
- does it change if you launch X11 first, then Inkscape?
-- val_if_ fail(retVal == 0, 1);
the console message comes from 'src/main.cpp', line 1110 ff.:
int sp_main_console(int argc, char const **argv)
{
/* We are started in text mode */
(…)
GSList *fl = NULL;
int retVal = sp_common_main( argc, argv, &fl );
g_return_
if (fl == NULL && !sp_shell) {
g_print( "Nothing to do!\n");
exit(0);
