    When I set Preferences -> Output -> SVG output -> path data

    to 'Absolute', some data are still saved with relative coordinates.

    Is this bug?

    If you draw new paths, they will have the relative/absolute setting you have selected in preferences.

    Existing paths have to be 'nudged' to cause the path string 'd' to update.

    If you use Edit>Select All in All Layers

    The tap the left arrow key then the right arrow key.

    Thanks, inklinea.

    I have understood that existing data must be updated of all the path, if not, existing path

    are still saved with original manner despite of preferences.

    Am I right?
