I've successfully helped Joanne recover her vector svg file off-list.
Thanks for the help everyone. :)

Joanne,

You could run Extensions>Image>Embed... to include the images in the SVG and then re-save it and re-send it.

Cheers,
Josh

Unfortunately that svg file contains only linked images from your
computer which nobody else can see. They are as follows:


C:\Users\Turner\Documents\Crafts\Signature\signature 201.png

D:\MY Stamps\2010 DESIGNS\Signature\image2580.png

C:\Users\Turner\Documents\Crafts\Signature\inkscape_pasted_image_20111207_225137.png


You need to look at those images and see which is the right one.


Best wishes,

John
