Weird. It was definitely saved as an SVG.

And yes, I finally enabled auto-save. I thought I'd already had it set up, because in the past I've crashed and Inkscape saved a backup of my file any way. Ah well, you live and learn (and waste a week drawing for nothing).

Ugh. Thank you so much for at least trying.

Ah, done!

Hi, I'm actually having the same issue. My computer crashed and now Inkscape "cannot load the requested file." Wondering if there was anyone who could look at the XML and try to salvage the file??

I tried to attach it but it was too large, not sure how I would get it on here.
