Bug Description
Inkscape version: inkscape_
OS: WIndows XP SP2
Reproduce bug:
I have a link to Inkscape on my desktop. From windows explorer I use to drag an image file (png) into Inkscape. I select "Link" to image file when question appear.
Then I create a background layer and put the image there, lock that layer and creates another one to draw on.
Then if I press Ctrl+S to save, Inkscape just overwrite the image file I dropped in. That means the original image file is now broken.
This bug may destroy image files if user isn't very aware og this.

- Do you drag&drop the PNG into the Inkscape Window or just drop it onto the Inkscape icon on the desktop (which AFAIK will open the PNG file and not import it).
- What is displayed as file name in the Inkscape window title?
