I'm attempting to ungroup this object http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Two-stroke_engine_moving_...
When I try to do so in Inkscape it identifies the object as having a Conditional Group of 1 Object but then says there are No Groups in the selection when I try to ungroup it.
Is this a problem with the file or Inkscape?
Neither - Inkscape trunk does curently not support ungrouping the conditional group itself (IIRC it was a recent design decision, but I'd have to search for details - might have been mentioned in a bug report comment, commit message or on the devel mailing list, I don't recall, and I could be wrong about the details, too ;-) )
I'm using Inkscape 0.48+devel+13132+47~ubuntu13.10.1
How to edit the displayed content of the conditional group none-the-less:
1) open the file in current trunk 2) add a new layer (for later use) 3) enter the conditional group like a regular group (double-click it, or use <Ctrl+Enter>) 4) select all (Ctrl+A) and duplicate it (Ctrl+D) 5) move the current selection to the new layer (use context menu entry 'Move to layer ...') 6) hide the new layer, and delete the original conditional group 7) optionally: open the XML Editor and delete the node <ns3:pgf id="adobe_illustrator_pgf"> (proprietary AI data, not used by Inkscape) 8) show the new layer, ungroup as needed 9) save as under a new file name.
