Whatever image you tried to put there has not been converted to an svg.. You have to trace your original image first to convert to an svg.. go path/trace image in inkscape

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you trying to import an svg into SCAL and it won't import?

Any images need to be converted to vector first. Firstcut has a guide by image type for converting images to vector. http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com/images-to-svg/

HeatherM is right....looked at it too. It is not an svg file. If the link she gave you does not help you, post the picture or image here and someone might be able to help you out.
