I have two objects, o1 and o2. I would like to split o1 into two parts: o1a, the union of o1 and o2, and o1b, the o1 without o2. I would also like to preserve o2 actually.
Select o1+o2 and go Path->Combine. Draw an larger rectangle around combined o1+o2 and set it to the background. Select both elements and go Path->Division. Delete rectangle.

I have two objects, o1 and o2. I would like to split o1 into two parts: o1a, the union of o1 and o2, and o1b, the o1 without o2. I would also like to preserve o2 actually.
Any hints?
You can achieve this by cloning one of your 01 and 02 in situ.
Select o1+o2 and go Path->Combine. Draw an larger rectangle around combined o1+o2 and set it to the background. Select both elements and go Path->Division. Delete rectangle.
If that´s what you´re after:
Path -> Combine is actually what I wanted. Thanks!
