[Inkscape-user] format, that does not clean up the code

Hi everybody,

I'm using Inkscape also to make animations like:

<path ... d=" (a path) "> <animate ......to=" (the new path) ">

When I load such a file into inkscape -for example, to add a new path- and save it at the end as *.svg, all parts of the original code, that can't be seen in inkscape are deleted.

Is there any possibility, to save it in a way, that everything remains as it is, only the new path is added?

regards, Hago
