    Hey guys I'm a begginer. Here's my file on pixabay its a vector https://pixabay.com/vectors/boy-child-dad-daughter-family-2027487/ when I go to inkscape and upload it and ungroup it it just stays the same as one object.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    Please attach the file you downloaded to a post. Pixabay requires registration to download svg.

    It is a single object, observe the info in the status bar: "Path 390 nodes in root."

    So does this mean some svg files from the web are just one object and some you can ungroup? I'm a begginer so forgive me if I sound like an idiot.

    Yes.

    I encourage all beginners to explore the tutorials in the Help menu.

    I cannot ungroup. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I am not a beginner. This worked fine on last version. I appreciate all the time people have contributed to inkscape.
