Hello,
I'm quite new to the world of vectors and normally work with fractals, so I'm oblivious to most of this.

I drew a simple design in inkscape using the pencil tool and I'm not too sure how to save it

I don't want a .svg file, rather a .png so I can edit it in a raster editor, and I can't seem to find an option to save/export it as one.

Can anyone be of help?
Thank you

Edit:
Ah, I found it. I didn't expect "export to bitmap" to be a .png, I thought it was a .bmp

I don't think your the only one who would be confused by that. But I believe in future you'll get a selection of bitmap formats to choose from and I personally struggle to think of a more generic term that they could use.

I had the exact same problem, not too long ago. To me, the word bitmap translates to .bmp files. And I didn't want a .bmp because they're typically HUGE. I specifically wanted a .png (because they're typically smaller).

I do understand that the word 'bitmap' is used to describe raster graphic formats. To me, the problem is that 'bitmap' is too generic. I had expected something more specific, ie - that "Make a bitmap copy" meant 'make a .bmp copy', or if a .png copy is available, that the menu should say 'make a .png copy'.

So anyway, just wanted to share my experience, and why "Make a bitmap copy" didn't work for me. I'm glad there will be a selection of formats in the future. Then it will be crystal clear!

All best

Never having to work with other formats other than the normal raster graphics and some xml flame files, it completely dumbfounded me until I saw the extension in the "Browse..." box.

Hi, I don't want to create a new topic, because I think, that it can be something really simple and obvious.
I was looking for some help in these topics though, but I didn't find anything
My problem:
When I am working with some (for example imported) picture and I want to save it in original quality, I don't know how to do it.
I was looking for "Save as .bmp" or something like that.
Picture, exported in .png was out of focus, useless.
Thanks for help..

So you've imported an bitmap into Inkscape, and when you export the SVG the original bitmap is blurry? I can think of only think of this happening if you are exporting the SVG at a different size to the original bitmap--in which case its to be expected. If you feel my diagnosis is incorrect, you'll need to provide some examples.
