Unable to open cdr file. It says failed to load the requested file. Thanks

Hi Noreen,

there are quite a few bugs associated with opening cdr files. Could you be a bit more specific and tell us:

- which operating system you are using, also: 32bit or 64bit
- which Inkscape version, also: 32bit or 64bit
- give us an example of the file you try to import (upload it to some file hoster and post a link, this answers section does not allow any file uploads)

(If you would like to research yourself, start here:

The file is in the link below. I am using version 0.91 of Inkscape. I'm not sure if Inkscape is 32 or 64 bit, how can I check? My Mac OS X version is 10.11.4, 64 bit. Thanks!

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

Do you happen to know if the file opens with Corel? To me, the error messages I get from Inkscape and from Imagemagick on the command line sound a bit as if the file were broken.

Adding the tracebacks at the bottom for archiving purposes. You do not need to read or understand the following, Noreen.
(and a warning for everyone who tries to open this with libreoffice: It's going to crash it and will then run with full processor load in the background, only a kill command will stop it)
