I am trying to convert svg to one shape(path) by using Union command but Inkscape tells me that one of objects is not a path
When I am trying to convert object to path it tells me that No objects to convert to path in the selection.

Please let me know if there is a solution for converting all elements in svg to one path.
in the attached svg I want to get a rounded rectangle path after the union (this is just an example, will need to process more icons using union command later).
Thanks in advance

Re: Union in SVG
Hi.
You did use a weird cloning on your objects, preventing them from converting to anything.
But I have no idea how you want all the elements to be one path.

Re: Union in SVG
Here is how Illustrator does it: http://screencast.com/t/y8kIOmexZol
I want to do the same in Inkscape because it can be called from command line.

Re: Union in SVG
You can do that with my previous attachment, but on what end?
Wouldn't deleting all objects except the one at the bottom result in the same thing?

I need to process 10 000+ icons. The one that I have uploaded is just an example.
Re: Union in SVG
Knowing appstore icons are processed automatically to that shape, and gloss is added automatically I cannot see a reason why to do such horrid amount of work.
Like, boolean operations -the union- have some rounding errors too.
And if those icons all have such overcomplicated structure as in the example, it's almost (if not) impossible from command line.

Re: Union in SVG
Can you please tell me what operations have you done to make the icon-8III.svg?
Re: Union in SVG
Released clone links (Shift+Alt+D) on all objects except the text, and ungrouped (Ctrl+Shift+G) them.
Unset masking on the text object, ungrouped it twice, released clone link, ungrouped it again.
Converted object to path, ungrouped character, merged double nodes with the node tool and adjusted size and position manually after; wasn't sure how the original supposed to look, even though if it's for an union, it doesn't matter.
