Is anyone having problems on XP systems with the save or save as dialog not appearing?

This is bug 285267. Some people report that switching XP to the Windows Classic theme is a workaround.

Tried it. Didn't work, even after a restart.

I was able to turn up a kludge, since changing themes doesn't work.

Download and install something like autohotkey

Create the following in an editor like Crimson Editor or Notepad...

Code: Select all

loop
{
 winWait Select file ahk_class #32770
 WinMove,ahk_class #32770,, 100, 300, 560, 390
}


Name and save the file with the extension .AHK

I've tried this, and it works. However, you will have to run it every Inkscape instance.
