I'm having difficulty with imported bmp files. When I save the finished product that includes bmps and vector graphics it looks great. When I take the resulting svg file to another computer the image shows missing image and a red x where the bmps were. I have surmised that the program links to these images and when you move the svg file to another computer the path to those bmps is no longer there. I was wondering if there is any way to avoid that. Is there a way to anchor or flatten the images and embed them in the svg file? Thanks in advance for any help.
The easy answer is, place images in the same RELATIVE dir. That is, if they were in the same dir as teh SVG, do the same on the second computer. If they were in a subdir, create the same subdir there.
Unfortunately, this simple scheme was somewhat broken in 0.42 and before: Inkscape tended to replace the relative link to the file by absolute, which naturally was much easier to break by moving to another computer. I fixed this a couple weeks ago and the fix will be in 0.43.
