I made a presentation in inkscape (v0.92) with the multiple pages extension. However, I can no longer go to the following pages. I see the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pages_go_next.py", line 42, in <module>

File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 283, in affect

File "src/lxml/apihelpers.pxi", line 1328, in lxml.etree._appendChild
ValueError: cannot append parent to itself</module>

What could be the problem?

P.S. I am using the v1.2 multiple pages extension.

    Probably the extension is not compatible with new versions of Inkscape.

    I don't offer support for this extension anymore since I don't use Inkscape anymore. The code is open source and can be continued by whoever wishes to do so. I can make admin of the repository whoever wishes to continue it.

    The idea behind it is good, Inkscape yet does not implement pages. The implementation however, is a little old and frankly not that good. I've done this more than 10 years ago.

    I get it, I saw it from the old dates too. The funny thing is that I used it well for a long time, until yesterday evening. The problems started right after I finished my presentation! I don't know how to restore the presentation now. There is a lot of pictures including links, latex text.
