Yes, you do need to give the whole filename ie. file.svg (...and that is good
practice for all files that are exported..add the appropriate suffix: jpg, tif,
etc)

Just checking. You are using the paths dialogue menu? as screenshot 1

Opening is similar, use the paths dialogue screenshot 2

but, often a but,

Do not rely on it being on the canvas. The path will position itself in the same
location as the original image. That might be off the canvas. screenshot 3

Move it with the move tool. Make sure the mode of the move tool is correct,
third icon along in the tool options.
