Hello, I traced a bitmap and it created a shape with some unnecessary nodes. While I was erasing them some curve lines became straight and now I can't get the 2nd handles of their nodes.
I searched high and low but google keeps distorting my request and I get tons of answers about bending lines or making corners round.
While I need to curve some straight PARTS in a SHAPE.
Thank you if you can help I am on Windows 7 with IS version 1.0.2-2 (e86c870879, 2021-01-15)
Additional hint: Try updating to a current Inkscape version, and also, if necessary, override Inkscape's default node deletion behavior which in current versions changes with the angle of the nodes.

Select your shape. Go get the Node tool [n] then [click+drag] the straight line segments to change the curvature.
Optional step. [click] the segment to select the two adjacent nodes then in the tool bar [Make selected nodes smooth].
