Hi,

I have been running Inkscape 0.48 (?) on a Mac for years without problems; I recently upgraded to Inkscape 0.91 which works beautifully with one exception.

The "Print Preview" option in "File -> Print..." no longer works. If I recall correctly, in 0.48 it would come up with a standard MacOSX print dialogue in which I could select "Open in Preview" (or Mail) and off I was - I had a PDF version that I could mail around.

in 0.91 "Print Preview" results in a dialogue box

"Error launching preview
No application is registered as handling this file"

Googling that error message mostly leads to Ubuntu problems.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

I have tried it under Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan), and run Quartz 2.7.7 (org server 1.15.2)

Thanks,
Henk

Sorry - that was on oversight in the Inkscape 0.91 packages for OS X (my mistake); it has been corrected in the sources [*] already, and the fix will be available in the next release (0.91.1 or 0.92, whatever comes first).

No worries - thanks for the quick response.

For the future reference of others who hit this problem, it's easy to fix it manually. (That fact wasn't obvious to me at first.)

Edit this file in any text editor:
/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

Add these 2 lines that were provided by ~suv in the link shown earlier in this thread:
# use OS X default PDF viewer for print preview
gtk-print-preview-command="open -a /Applications/Preview.app %f"

~suv, thanks for your very complete answer which made this self-help possible.
