Re: The one Inkscape frustration affecting me

Hi Paul,

the Trace bitmap dialog options haven't changed since I made that
screenshot (here:
http://write.flossmanuals.net/start-with-inkscape/_draft/_v/2.9/tracing-an-image/),
which is from Inkscape 0.92.2. Edge detection is also still available.

Can you check if you've accidentally selected the newer 'Trace Pixelart'
dialog?

Or can you make a screenshot of what you mean with the changes?
