New question #198969 on Inkscape:
https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/198969

I made a t-shirt design and saved it by clicking save as then I copied it to my flash drive, When I presented it to my client, using their computer ( windows xp ) my file will not open. Is this because they are not using inkscape? or do I have to convert it into somekind of format so it can be opened by other computers?
Your help will be appreciated very much.

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

.svg is not a commonly supported format on Windows.

Some modern browsers (Firefox etc.) have built in-support for opening svg files, but generally if you're presenting work to a client you should export your design to an image.

In the menu this is Export->Bitmap. This creates an image which Windows XP could open.

Also, please use a site like http://www.inkscapeforum.com/ for asking questions - what you've asked is not a bug report.

thanks a lot Stuart will try and let you know

Stuart proposed the following answer:
Ignore the last bit, I see this is in the questions section rather than
bugs. Also, the menu command should be File->Export Bitmap
