Hi, what image format are you trying to import? What version of inkscape are you using?

Hi, what image format are you trying to import? What version of inkscape are you using?

How do I find out the image format and what inkscape version I am using?
Thanks

The inkscape version is in the Help menu, "About Inkscape".

The file format is usually identified by the three-letter extension at the end of the file.
a jpg image, for instance, will be named something like "filename.jpg"

In the help it says Inkscape 0.46 and the file says it's an eps file
extension.
Thanks!

prettybird: Thanks for the information. Now I think I can help. :-)

The EPS importer doesn't work quite well in Inkscape 0.46
The development version (that will be released in june as Inkscape 0.47) has a much improved EPS importer and will manage that kind of files better.
You can get a recent build (a "nightly build") from Inkscape.org and test the new version.

Keep in mind that EPS files may include both vectors and bitmap images. It's possible that you won't need to vectorize the image if it's already in vectors.

Thanks for getting back to me. It seems like the recent builds might not be
to stable so I might wait until June to download the update. Funny thing
is, about a week ago I tried to do the same thing I'm doing now and it
worked with no trouble and now it won't work. Strange. But if I right
click on the logo and click "save picture as" instead of downloading it, it
seems to be working. So I will do it that way for now until they get the
update I guess. Thanks for your help!!
