Description
More general info than bug I figure, as this is messing around with the ws source code.
Wanted to reset the new-cell numbering for all columns. So I just removed the related next"<n>" parts from the ws file. (also to see if that would work ok)
This did however resulted in a total silent nip4 loading failure for the ws file. (ie: including being silent in terminal mode)
... next="1" is it.
((was Nip4: 9.0.18 related)next="" will start nip4 in 'new works space mode' with at least a "unable to execute" displayed error message.)
Locals:
Nip4: 9.0.18 (Flatpak), libvips 8.19.0
OS: Linux, Mint (21.3), Cinnamon (6.0.4), Kernel (5.15.0-173-generic)

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by removing next="1" from the column entries in a ws file, then compare loading with intact entries and with next="". Trace the workspace-loading path in the nip4 source; no specific file or test is named in the issue. Done means the failure is handled with a visible diagnostic or correct loading behavior, backed by a regression test.
