But when I open the SVG with Inkscape the PNG image does not show up, even though it is in the same directory.

The PNG image and plot points display fine when I open the SVG with Chrome or (with a glitch or two) Firefox. I've had problems with installing XQuartz before and wonder if it's something I did wrong when installing? I am also using an attached external monitor to my MacBook Air but when I unplugged and only used my MacBook Air I still had the same problem.ĭoes anyone know how I can get the export window to show so I can export my files? Thanks for your help.I have an SVG file which plots points on a background PNG image (a map), and I want to edit it in Inkscape to add points and paths aligned to certain features on the PNG map. I am using a MacBook Air OS X 10.9.5 with Inkscape and XQuartz. It seems like it is showing up way to the left of my normal Inkscape window in the preview as well. When I go to the launch view (view on mac where you can see all your open windows in one view) I can clearly see there IS an export window but it will not show up on my normal screen no matter what. The problem comes when I go into Inkscape and go to File>Export and then no window shows up. After looking around, people said I needed to export instead to get the transparent background. However when I am in Inkscape and use the "save as" option the background is not transparent. I am trying to export a png with transparent background to use as a favicon.
