Thank you very much, that did indeed work, now all I have to do is search and replace "<image href=" with "<image xlink:href=" to fix my problem. Frustrating that I need to do that, but ho hum.
i don't care if this post is a year old, i needed to say THANK YOU this was driving me crazy, my images were appearing blank all the time and I couldn't figure out why.
Beginners' Questions Inkscape doesn't display the embedded image
Inkscape.org
Hi,
When I open the following SVG file in Inkscape the red coloured embedded image does not appear:
https://ukdev.ezadspro.co.uk/qrcode/qrcodes/qrcode.svg
However, it is visible in all of the web browsers I've tested.
I have tried googling, but no joy. Can anyone help an SVG beginner?
Thanks
James.
<image href="data:image/png;base64 ( new )
vs
<image xlink:href="data:image/png;base64 ( older )
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href
xlink should work in both browsers and Inkscape.
Inklinea,

according to this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href xlink:href is deprecated.
I believe this has been fixed in the new Inkscape 1.3 (currently beta release)
