Ok.. I found this out by myself.. .. and it seems to be a bug in Inskcape! :shock: I must, manually, open the XML dialog for each bitmap image, and add the following attribute: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/coords..html#46;

Dear Forum, I am embedding (not linking) bitmap images into my inkscape .svg file. After embedding, I wish to change their aspect ratio simply by dragging with mouse. I save the file .. if I open it with inkscape, everything's perfect, i.e. the new "distorted" aspect ratio is preserved. .....
