http://www.hibbs.me.uk/nnjj.svg is a tracing of a photo of my nieces. When I export it as a bitmap, the baby's lips come out as solid rather than outline. If I delete her big sister, she exports ok. Is this a bug?

I cannot reproduce this. Your SVG has no background, so it seems likely that when exported with transparent background, the resulting PNG may be misrendered by some software that can't handle PNG transparency. Use Firefox to view the PNG. If the problem persists, please open a bug and attach both SVG and PNG there.

When I trace images every line from bitmap becomes a shape, not path. How can one trace into paths?

No, it becomes a path, but a filled path. Remove its fill and add stroke to get what you want.
A "shape" is a rectangle, ellipse, spiral, etc.

Hmmm, didn't seem to work: 1. Drawing a basic bezier path 2. Making bitmap of it 3. Tracing
It produces a filled path. If I remove the fill and add stroke I don't get the path from point 1. again. I get two parallel lines rather.

Of course - because you made a bezier path with stroke but no fill, so you're tracing an image showing a narrow black strip. The result is a path that represents this strip. Make a path with fill but no stroke in point 1. and you'll get what you need.

Hmmm... What kind of a shape? A rectangular? An ellipse? A star?
How can one trace into paths?
But one already does trace into paths :) it just doesn't work any other way. Please attach a sample of a file with an issue you are talking about.

Back on tracing. I will try to make myself clearer this time, sorry for not being at the very beginning.
I draw a straight segment with bezier tool. It has 2 nodes. Should I call it *stroke* or *path* for future discussion? I will call it *stroke* for now.
Now I select the object and press "Convert selected stroke to path" and get 4 nodes. Should I call it *path* or *closed path*? I will call it *closed path* for now.
The email says that http://www.hibbs.me.uk/nnjj.svg is a tracing of a bitmap. If you inspect the image you notice it consits of strokes. I always ended up with tracing into closed paths, never into strokes and my question is how the picture was traced. Or was it later converted to strokes (how?).
It seems I should have just asked: How can I ever convert a closed path into a stroke?
Thanks in advance, Karol

The object is called a path. That's the _type_ of the object you created. The stroke or fill are _properties_ of this object. It may have a stroke or it may not, but it still remains a path. By default paths created by bezier tool have black stroke and no fill.
Now I select the object and press "Convert selected stroke to path" and get 4 nodes. Should I call it *path* or *closed path*? I will call it *closed path* for now.
It's a path, too. Yes, it's closed.

Normal tracing gives you paths that enclose areas with similar color. Change them to remove fill and add stroke (using e.g. Fill&Stroke dialog), and you get this result.

You don't convert "into" a stroke. Any path may have a stroke or it may be without any stroke. Same with fill.

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.

Thanks, that answers my question.
