Known issue with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows, triggered by opening/saving files from/to the root of a drive, tracked in /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/805095>
Bug #805095 "no File->Save As... dialog box if previously opened a file from root directory of a drive"
<https:/
You can …
… download and install Inkscape 0.48.3.1 (which has this bug fixed) from sourceforge. net/projects/ inkscape/ files/inkscape/ 0.48.3. 1/>
<http://
(this latest bug-fix release has not yet been officially announced because we are waiting for the packages for other platforms to be available first)
… or reset the preferences to default values (quit Inkscape, delete or rename "%APPDATA% \inkscape\ preferences. xml", launch Inkscape again), and avoid saving or opening files from the root of a drive as long as you work with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows.
… or open a file _not_ in the root of a drive via context menu of the explorer in Inkscape ('Open with Inkscape…'), save it again after a small edit, save it as (with a new file name), and save a copy as (to reset the paths stored in the preferences file for the various save operations), and after that avoid saving or opening files from the root of a drive as long as you work with Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows.
