Thanks Chris and Hendrik I have 'show hidden files' checked in explorer. I also just did a thorough chkdsk to see if anything got corrupted. It came out clean. This is all on my windows desktop. I also have a laptop with ubuntu and will try it there and look how that will work. I'll report back once if get further along with the problem. I did try to save it as a inkscape svg and as a plain svg in different directories, all with the same result J

It could also be something strange with the names of the files? Perhaps they are hidden from view by explorer? Or perhaps there are strange characters in the name that prevent them from showing up? Try changing the "view" of the folder between "list" and "icon" display...?
Try also saving to a different directory like your desktop - i.e. is it all directories or just that one directory that is having an issue?

Some tools also show only a specific file type when listing a directory. And sometimes it's the wrong type. Does it help to get it to list *all* file types?
