Comment 6 for bug 394503

> not reproduced: opened bitmap, 'Layer > Add layer…' works as expected. (Inkscape r22288)
I swear it happened to me, but I can't reproduce it anymore.

> Did you try to open the saved PNG? AFAIK Inkscape can only export not save as PNG - when saved it overwrites the bitmap with SVG content, and crashes on reopening (self-referencing when loading the linked PNG?). That's bug #429529
I knew there was a bug! thanks suv ;) In pre2 it doesn't work that way: the PNG gets correctly overwritten. The resulting bitmap can be opened by Inkscape and Windows preview.
