Comment 13 for bug 916525

Hi JazzyNico

I was not aware that if it is imported then the layers are grouped, I rarely crash Inkscape at all, not a bug after all. Will need to look in documentation just in case it isn't there.

Subject: [Bug 916525] Re: Emergency save modifies svg structure

Tested on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.48.0 (in case it's a Windows specific
bug). I confirm the two layers show as expected when opened with
File>Open (or from the recent list). As explained by ~suv, if you use
File>Import or drag and drop to import the file, all the original layers
are grouped and lose their layer status.

Title:
  Emergency save modifies svg structure

Status in Inkscape: A Vector Drawing Tool:
  New

Bug description:
  After 5 years using Inkscape, I found my first bug.

  I had designed a file with two layers (one was locked), but not yet saved it when Inkscape crashed (not too sure why, I was simply drawing curves, and it was still a small file, just a few minutes of work).
  The recovery file had only one layer, and all the elements of both layers were grouped (apparently one group for each layer)

  Specifically the bottom layer was locking an image which I was tracing manually on the top layer, although the bug is more about the autosave and what it saves in terms of SVG structure.
  Oddly enough the bug happened again just a few minutes later.

  OS is WinXP SP3, Inkscape 0.48
  Will update Inkscape and will update bug if it happens again.
  Not too sure if you guys can order Inkscape to crash.
