Beginners' Questions Break Apart after Trace Bitmap changes the drawing

    Hello, 

    I would like to convert a .png/.bmp image to an SVG image in order to reorder the elements/texts. 

    In order to do so, I use "Trace Bitmap" and than "Break Apart" in order to be able to move every single object. This seems to work except for a weird sideeffect: When breaking apart, it colors all the closed loop like this: 

    In order: 
    png file -> traced bitmap -> broken apart traced bitmap

    Is this an error or can I change that behaviour?

    The Break Apart command breaks apart all paths.

    Try Split Path instead. I think you may have to upgrade to version 1.2 if you haven't done so already.

    Thank you. Would you tell me how to do that? 
    I tried "Object to Path" and than "Cut Path", but it is not working.

    I said "Split Path". ;)
