you have to reopen it in SCAL. Mine does the same thing and has with XP and Vista. It's not like opening a word docutment or anything just make sure you have SCAL open first, then click on the import folder for importing SVG's. It's better if you set Inkscape as your program of view choice because it makes things easier :) HTH :)

Rather than hitting open... Import the file into scal. Once you have Scal open under file, click import and find your file to import. It should open for you that way. Hope that helps

I hit download and it will open SCAL(no svg shows up) then I just close SCAL out, go to the download window,right click,click on "show containing folder" or something of the sort
go to that folder which in mine is temporary files,then I drag it to where i want to store it, then you can import svg into SCAL

sounds confusing but real easy
hope it helps

If it is a true svg you import in Scal. It shouldn't even try to open. If you have inscape try to open it and see what is there.

re:
and if it is a zip file you need to unzip it first then save then import in scal
