Inkscape 0.91 Saving Problems

[EdCaldwell]

After importing a png file and editing as needed I save as "optimized svg." Then when I go to close the image or the program, Inkscape asks me if I want to save as an inkscape svg. Since I already saved it as "optimized svg" I choose no. But then the optimized image is not in the folder where I saved it. It seems as though I can only save as an Inkscape svg.

Is that true? What is the difference between "optimized svg" and an inkscape svg? Whenever closing a file or the program Inkscape keeps cycling back and asking to save as Inkscape svg.

I am running Windows 7.1 Service pack 1 64 bit.

Which installer did you use for Inkscape? (32bit|64bit, exe|msi|paf.exe|7z)?

I installed the 64 bit version of Inkscape 0.91

- which directory did you save to?
- was it by any chance a system directory?
- were you able to save successfully the same file as normal svg, not optimized?
- I think what I would suggest is to first save the file as normal svg, confirm that it actually exists, then save it as optimized svg using a different filename and confirm that it exists as well, and then exit Inkscape and ignore the warning about the file not being saved.
- to show the difference between the two types, on Windows 7, 32 bit, I saved the following file with an embedded png

and then saved the same file as optimized svg, to confirm that the bitmap is included in it.

Additional info (from the original question):
" I save as "optimized svg." There is no additional dialog box."
-> The dialog for adjusting the settings for optimization does not pop up.
