Receiving error when using Next generator extension in Inkscape

Question

I installed the next generator extension in Inkscape following directions of unzipping the file and placing it in the Extension file.

When I run it i receive this error Cannot merge PDF files, please install Ghostscript (see https://ghostscript.com).

I have Gohstscript installed with the path in place.

Any insight is appreciated.

I had the same issue myself. I believe you're on Windows, like I am, as this solution may not work on other platforms.

The way to resolve it is to locate your Ghostscript executables (usually found in the bin directory of where you installed GS), duplicate the gswin64.exe file and rename the duplicate to gs.exe. Then, try again.

It's a bit crude, but it works.
