Comment 2 for bug 246724

Exactly the problem... I checked out the XML of my Inkscape file and sure enough, one image was double-tagged, one tag did not have the 'xlink:href' attribute. This would probably be easy for someone who knows python to fix. When looking at the embedimage.py script, it looks like it asks for the 'xlink:href' attribute (line 53), but if it can't find one, it should use the 'sodipodi:absref' attribute instead (line 54). Perhaps when checking for the attribute, it should look to see if it exists first? Sorry I can't be of more help... if I knew anything about coding, I would already have fixed it.
