Comment 15 for bug 386069

[Translated in google]

Well, I try to be more detailed, maybe help you:

My _Vista is SP1.

The following tests were done >>

- I create an object and a copy to bitmap, after trying to embed it >> works;

- I create an object and a copy to bitmap, after the image properties, delete a part of the string path of the image, then try to embed it >> still works, When delete the entire string>> does not work (until then all well);

- Restart the Inkscape, drag an image from a directory to within Inkscape, I try to embed it >> does not work:

     "No xlink:href or sodipodi:absref attributes found, or they do not point to an existing file! Unable to embed image.
      Sorry we could not locate C:\C:\Users\Frank\Desktop\fotos\corrinha.jpg"

      Then try to remove the second "C:\" in image properties >> generates the failure of linkage, but even then I try to embed it >> does not work:

              "No xlink:href or sodipodi:absref attributes found, or they do not point to an existing file! Unable to embed image.
              Sorry we could not locate C:\inkscape-0.47\0.47trunk\inkscape\Users\Frank\Desktop\fotos\corrinha.jpg"

              see now that the first "C:\" was replaced by "C:\inkscape-0.47\0.47trunk\inkscape\"

- Ok, now restart again Inkscape and import the same image via the Import command, try to embed it >> does not work:

      "No xlink:href or sodipodi:absref attributes found, or they do not point to an existing file! Unable to embed image.
      Sorry we could not locate C:\C:\Users\Frank\Desktop\fotos\corrinha.jpg" (same result of previous test)

      In image properties I reduces all string of the path of the file to just the file name "corrinha.jpg" >> No failure on linkage and the image remains visible. I try to embed it >> works!

I hope it can help you with these details.

I will test it now in Win XP SP3, I will post the result here later.
