unclosed path
How can I find, if I have any uclosed (open) paths?
Re: unclosed path
Well, one way might be to try to apply a Fill. If the path is not closed, it won't accept the Fill. Another way might be to zoom way, way in, which might reveal gaps that can't be seen at a lower zoom. Can you give us more info about why you need to identify unclosed paths?

Re: unclosed path
Thanks, I need it for microphotobank. They returned me one drawing that it contains unclosed paths.
Re: unclosed path

Another way maybe is to use the XML editor, all the closed paths the "d" positions end in a "z" as in example below. 1st open 2nd, closed, also first and last pair of dimentions are the same.
It may be easier to open up the file in a suitable text editor and use the search function to find the paths and then see if they have a "z at the end and note the path number and then edit in inscape.
Note I am novice at Inkscape and their might be an easier way
