Re: [Inkscape-user] Export makes a shape solid (strokes into paths)

It seems I should have just asked: How can I ever convert a closed path into a stroke?

I understand now. You can't do that automatically. But that same question has been asked before with reguard to the tracing tool. I think you should put in a feature request to "approximate line art with stroked paths." You might also submit feature requests to any of the various bitmap to vector converters you can find since that is really where this functionality belongs and how inkscape implements the tracing feature.
