Using Sozi-17.06.021848-linux-x64, I created a simple example and saved it.
Now I can't find where the file went (it's not where the SVG source file is sitting).
It must be somewhere, because when I terminate Sozi and start it up again, it still shows my "presentation content".

Could this be related to the Sozi window's title still says "Untitled"?
How can I do a "save-as", or change the name?

Thanks!

Sozi creates two files: a JSON file that contains only the presentation data, and an HTML file that contains the playable presentation.
Both are created in the same folder as the SVG.

If Sozi can reopen the presentation, it means that the JSON file has been correctly saved in the expected location.
Can you confirm that?

From your message, I assume that only the HTML file is missing.
To help me debug this issue, you can open your presentation in Sozi, press F12 and select the "Console" tab.
Hopefully there will be some error messages related to your problem.

Could this be related to the Sozi window's title still says "Untitled"?

No. It just means that your SVG document does not have a title.
In Inkscape, you can set the title in the metadata of the document (File menu / Document properties).

How can I do a "save-as", or change the name?

This is not supported yet.

Hi Guillaume,

thanks for the quick reply.

It turned out that just for my first SVG file Sozi refused to create the corresponding .sozi.html and .sozi.json files.

After I tried it with different SVG file, it worked "as advertised" and the generated files showed up in the same directory as the SVG source file.

And after I made changes to my original first SVG file, even then Sozi did generate its files properly.

BTW, there was nothing significant showing up in the console..

Strange. Glad that it works now.

Regards,
-Max
