XCF export was just fixed a couple days ago in the development branch by Aaron Spike:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/189871 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168277

If you are still having this problem in the latest svn (or in the next preview release of 0.46), please leave a comment at one of those bugs...

Hi,

I was trying to save a simple image tonight so I could play with it in the gimp.

It's a rectangle, white, with a drop shadow. If I try to save as an xcf for the gimp I get the following error.

" ** (inkscape:6325): WARNING **: Format autodetect failed. The file is being opened as SVG. No batch interpreter specified, using the default 'plug-in-script-fu-eval'.

(gimp:6327): Gimp-Base-WARNING **: tile cache not empty (1096832 bytes left) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/gimp_xcf.py", line 92, in <module> e.affect() File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 157, in affect self.effect() File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/gimp_xcf.py", line 87, in effect x = open(xcf, 'r') IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/tmp/tmpWU79O2/ink_ext_4W.xcf' "

I am running 'Inkscape 0.45.1, built Sep 20 2007' on an up-to-date ubuntu 7.10 desktop. I have attached the svg. Try and save it in xcf and see if the same problem occurs for you.

Cheers

Al
