Inkscape crashes when loading file

[Jean-Noel]

Hi
I created a file in Inkscape 0.91r ( 0.91 r (Feb 12 2015). I'm running on Linux Mint 17.1. Today, when I want to re-open the file, Inkscape crashes with a message 'Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now.'

I tried opening other files I had created before, in case the issue was with the latest one, but I always get the same problem

The stack trace in gdb is the following:

Is it just the attached file, or any file? The file 'memory.svg' opens just fine (no crash) with Inkscape 0.91 r13725 and 0.91+devel r14147 on OS X 10.7.5.

If opening any existing file (via command line, 'File > Open Recent' or 'File > Open') suddenly crashes inkscape on launch (with the same backtrace as pasted in the bug description), this report very likely has the same underlying issue (crash while parsing information from $HOME/.local/share/recently-used.xbel) as already tracked in
* Bug #1404934 “Crash when opening files (Glib::ConvertError exception)”

Proposing to link as duplicate to bug #1404934.

Actually, it's with any file. I can open Inkscape (Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015) , but when loading any file, it crashes, while until yesterday everything was working fine.

I deleted the $HOME/.local/share/recently-used.xbel file, and everything's working fine now. Thanks a lot

Thank you for reporting back (this is much appreciated).
