    I have a problem with my SVG file. It used to open normally, but, all of a sudden after I added a few text to it. It gave me an error message:

    Failed to load the requested file /home/elshimy/Desktop/group_folder/members/ismail/EGF starvation paper/figures/fig2/fig2.svg

    I attached the file in the following link:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q0A_zstXnCQxp7Ci9YYC9j0EGo0md1vL/view?usp=sharing

    If there is a way to recover it, I would be grateful if you can show me :)

    Hint: Autosave feature was unfortunately not enabled when I created this file.

    Thanks a lot !

    Welcome to the forum!

    I'm able to open it ok.

    Exactly how do you attempt to open it?Β  Double-click?Β  Or do you open Inkscape first, and then open it?

    That file is huge. 30% can be eliminated by switching the scatter chart to a bitmap.

    Here's a version I cleaned up a little bit.Β https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Gh07g9qroSk_JdrcPPVADERiWPgJ7CYv

    @brynn I tried both ways and it gave me the same error message "failed to load the requested file"

    @TylerDurden Yes, I think it was a file size issue. The original file was 16.1 MB. Now, after you edited it, the size is reduced to 11.3 MB and the file opens normally. Thanks a lot :)
