Isn't there a setting to couple svg to inkscape ?

"Why does it take *my* copyright image from *my* camera
and create a derivative work which it then writes to *my* camera, thus
destroying *my* original when all I did was to ask it to display the image the
right way up?"
If something (anything) overwrote an image on my camera, that something would be
instantly disconnected and never allowed back.
As for your "why?"... its Windows. You didn't really expect it to
work logically, did you?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not satisfied with stomping Netscape by claiming all internet urls
protocols belong to it, even when it is incapable, it does the same
with file extensions. eg a link to rtsp://some.host/foo.mov, if
clicked in IE will cause IE to seize the url, and because it can't
handle rtsp it changes it to http.
On a standard Windows box, double-click a .jpg or .tif on the
desktop. They'll open in IE, so .svg is a natural progression.
There is some dark magic available massaging registry keys.
I once had a script to set the default app for .mp4 to be VLC,
but I'm too old and tired to be bothered with that now, I took
the dime and bought a decent computer...

svg stripping - not entirely sure, but windows *might* be
recognizing the svg file as xml based and trying to open it
with IE because that is the default viewer for xml. Most of
the time Windows defaults hundreds of extensions to its
proprietary software so you open it with their stuff.
Installing Inkscape *should have* updated the default
program with which to open .svg files (maybe that didn't
work?) ... again this is all just a guess.
overwriting the file on your camera - that's how windows
works. it doesn't simply turn the photo, it copies it, turns
it and saves it (if you are using the windows photo viewer
that is). So although undesired behavior, it is the default
behavior in windows.

Microsoft assumes all users are totally incompetent, and want Microsoft to
babysit them. In this they are far worse than Apple.

I'm afraid I don't have Windows 7, so this is just guesswork, but on Windows XP,
one would
- open Windows Explorer,
- open "Folder Options..." from
the Tools menu,
- click on the "File Types" tab,
- scroll down
to SVG in the Extensions column,
- either
- click on the "New"
button if there isn't already an entry for SVG, or
- click on the line
containing SVG and on the "Change" button if there is an entry for
SVG,
- choose "Select the program from a list",
- choose
the program you want to use to open .SVG files from the list it
displays.
Another method that I can't say would also work in Windows
7 is to drag the .SVG file in question onto the icon of the Inkscape program
that you want to use to open it.
Also, if you haven't already, all
Windows users should uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" in the View
tab of "Folder Options...".
