Saving to PNG

[michael Kůr]

I have Windows XP Proffessional service pack 3, version Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819. When I want save file to PNG in down panel will apear ,,Document saved," but when I open the folder file was doesn´t here. Only way for me how to save to PNg is: save file as ZIP PNG file and extract.

Based on the screenshot from bug #908172, the issue seems to be related or triggered by
Bug #408566 “Program won't save files without given extension on Win32”
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/408566>
(two dots (aka periods) in the save path), possibly combined with the cascading effects of bug #769725 and bug #805095.

Note: to create high-quality bitmap images (PNG) from Inkscape SVG files, use 'File > Export bitmap...' instead of saving a copy as 'Cairo PNG'.

@michael - Does your issue look like one of the bugs reported by ~suv in comment #1?

Michael, Do you still have the issue with a recent Inkscape version (Inkscape 0.48.3 can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.3.1/)? Regarding comment 1 and the fact that bug 408566 is fixed in Inkscape 0.48.3.1, it might be that this issue is fixed now ...

Closing report by lack of feedback.
