HI Erica,
I’ve been hesitant to download version 1.2.2 because the Inkscape download page states:
“Do not update to macOS Ventura if you rely on Inkscape! There is an unresolved issue that currently affects all GTK3 based apps on macOS Ventura, making the app unresponsive to certain mouse events. (GTK is used by many different programs, and builds those programs’ user interfaces for you to interact with.)”
I have Ventura 13.3.1 on my MacBook Pro. I don’t necessarily rely on Inkscape, although I’m not sure how they define “rely”. I am guessing downloading is fine seeing as you’re a Mac user and you have obviously downloaded it. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks, Lynne
I would hold off updating for now if you have Ventura. Version 1.3 is slotted to be released before too long and I am hoping it will be compatible with Ventura OS
I just bought the membership today. Excited to get going! 🙂 I followed your instruction video to download Inkscape version 1.1 … but I see there has been an update. Should I go ahead and update to Inkscape version 1.2? I have been using Design Space for a few years now, but I am new to Inkscape. Thanks for your assistance! Christy
Erica, I did not have a welcome window pop up. It just opened to a new document. Where do I find the settings that you are talking about? Cathy
You can turn the welcome dialog back on in the preferences > interface > Windows > check the show welcome dialog box on
This isn’t working for me, Erica. All I get is the 4 square test for DS.
Also didnt get welcome setup. Went straight to the page. I went into preferences and set up the page there.
Cheers Lily
I got all of them now I downloaded again thank you for your help
Oh good!

Thanks, Erica, and welcome back!
Thank you!!
I tried to import web image a few times and got the error message and I clicked OK and then nothing. I have version 1.2.1.

Hey Christy! Check out the note on this on the Inkscape install video (first lesson of the Inkscape course) which explains more 🙂
