Hi all, super new to the program. I am trying to import a pdf into Inkscape after tweaking it in Gimp and saving it as a pdf. It is an image i want to try and laser engrave. When I try to OPEN or IMPORT the file and browse to my desktop no files are shown. I have tried setting the file type to ALL FILES, etc. but only the app icons are visible. Am I missing some setting? Thanks!

1. Describe your OS (your computer's Operating System: Mac/Windows/Linux/etc. & version).
2. Describe if Inkscape was newly installed, or upgraded from an earlier version.
3. Describe the version of Inkscape and the installer you used (the file you downloaded from the website: .msi/.exe/.zip/other ). 

Just to be sure, it's not a shortcut (also called hyperlink) to the file that is on your desktop?
