1. What operating system?
2. what happens if you drag the file onto the inkscape canvas?
Your mind is what you think it is.

Aand:
3. Which Inkscape version?
4. Please append a copy of one of the PNG files that don't work.
Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!
