> I am getting the following error when I try to open my file and the file is where it has always been. It started when I tried to open the animation on another computer with a syncd dropbox folder but now I get the same error on my original file on my original computer. I am using .sif files from Inkscape in my animation. Any ideas? I don’t really mind starting over if necessary but I don’t want it to happen again. Should I embed all my .sif files as I import them?
