Hudson River Rick Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Hi everyone, before I start banging my head angainst a wall, can anyone tell what is happening when I try the following. I imported an image into inkscape and successfully performed a black line to red line change and when I tried to save it, a box came up on the upper left of my screen that was titled WMF Output. There were a bunch of options in the box, but noneof them were highlighted, so I just hit okay, and the image I was working on went off to NEVER-NEVER Land. Then inkscape shut down and the image is nowhere to be found. I don't recall ever seeing that box before, so good ole MAGIC FINGERS must have hit the wrong keystroke somewhere. Thank you in advance for any help. By the way, NO WALLS WERE DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. Rick OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 It's Wednesday. I never do Inkscape on a Wednesday. Just sayin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 You might try going up to the file menu and scroll down to recent. That should give you a list of files recently opened. Either that or start over and import that file again and make your changes. Then click on "save as" and give it a name and a location to put it. I use desktop so it's easy to find. In fact you might check the desktop and see if there is a new Inkscape file that showed up there. If so, click on it and Inkscape should open it. I'm not any sort of expert but have head scars to prove my ineptitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wichman Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 In addition to Ray's advise, you may try rebooting your computer and then restarting Inkscape. This may cause Inkscape to try to recover a file that was shut down improperly. danny and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson River Rick Posted August 9 Author Report Share Posted August 9 @OCtoolguyHi Ray, thanks for all the suggestions. I had tried most of them prior to posting here, to no avail. I'm going to rtemove inkscape from my computer and then reinstall it again. Don't know if that will help or not...here's hoping it works. danny and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
