I'm looking to simplify my code that loads .svg files.
Is it possible to tell Inkscape to nullify the object's transform attribute and adjust the vertices accordingly ?
This way I won't have to deal with objects transforms in my code.

you can turn off transforms in the prefs, if you then move anything the transform will bake into it, just select then nudge left then right with the arrows

Thanks but where can I turn off the transforms in the Prefs ?
I tried File->Inkscape Preferences->Transforms-> Optimized / Preserved but it doesn't make a difference. I still see translation transformations. Even after nudging or doing save as

hmmm, setting that to optimised should be getting rid of them when you move the shape...

Not all objects can use optimized transforms:

• groups will keep them -> ungroup, nudge and group again (watch out for nested transformed groups)
• shapes (except rectangles) always use preserved transforms (workaround: convert to path and nudge)
• clones (workaround - unlink - not very useful)
• any object with a filter effect applied will use preserved transforms
• possibly others…

'Save as…' does not rewrite path data by itself, you have to trigger a rewrite of the path data manually.
