Can't ungroup Conditional Group
Hi,
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?
I'm using Inkscape 0.48+devel+13132+47~ubuntu13.10.1
Antonio
on Windows XP, Inkscape rev 13123, I am not able to load this file, I get the attached error messages. (This may be related to the fact that this computer is not connected to the internet, not sure, in any event the file has some unique characteristics.)

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.
Sample file attached (edited with r13135 on OS X 10.7.5).

Here's the related message I vaguley recalled: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/42769
(SVG element <switch> is a 'Conditional group')
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:
- open the file in current trunk
- add a new layer (for later use)
- enter the conditional group like a regular group (double-click it, or use <Ctrl+Enter>)
- select all (Ctrl+A) and duplicate it (Ctrl+D)
- move the current selection to the new layer (use context menu entry 'Move to layer ...')
- hide the new layer, and delete the original conditional group
- optionally: open the XML Editor and delete the node <ns3:pgf id="adobe_illustrator_pgf"> (proprietary AI data, not used by Inkscape)
- show the new layer, ungroup as needed
- save as under a new file name.
Me sucede lo mismo, no logro abrir el archivo.

Google translate:
Same thing happens to me, I can not open the file.
You neither tell which OS/platform you use, nor which Inskcape version, so my reply is just a guess (usually, if this information is omitted, it is safe to assume current stable Inskcape 0.48.4 on Windows ;-) ).
The file in question cannot be opened in current stable Inkscape 0.48.4 - a known issue which will be fixed in the next bug-fix release (0.48.5):
- Bug #166371 “Illustrator CS SVG won't load: namespace URIs in entities” https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166371

If it's a design decision can the user be notified somehow (in the status bar) that the group can't be ungrouped?

Ungrouping of conditional groups (aka <switch> elements) has been re-enabled in revision 13136 (the next PPA update tomorrow will likely include this change already).
For further details, see the brief discussion in the related thread on the 'inkscape-devel' mailing list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.inkscape.devel/42769

Another way to quickly get a 'plain' SVG version: in the terminal, use rsvg-convert (from librsvg):
rsvg-convert Two-stroke_engine_moving_parts_(Montagu,_Cars_and_Motor-Cycles,_1928).svg -f svg > sample.svg
Sample file attached (created with rsvg-convert from librsvg 2.40.1)
