Further testing has proven this:
During the Save and Save As Dialogue process,..you MUST add the suffix (file extension) after the name in order for it to save it. This is VERY WEIRD. In other words,..even though I have chosen to save the file as a .png file,...Inkscape is forgetting to add the file extension to the name when saving it. I had to name the file "dogsketch.png" instead of "dogsketch."
Please tell me that this is not by design.
