What happened?

Inkscape is an old app though, and it didn't open my file automatically, so for a few minutes I thought I lost it.

Somebody was boosted into my timeline this morning talking about a Canadian band going by the name Triumph. I hadn't heard of them before, and that has been my loss until now. Anyway, thanks unknown fediverse traveler for introducing them to me:
