Description Mirza 2010-09-10 20:11:22 UTC 
Created attachment 169988 [details]
The SVG file generated by Blender 2.53 representing two connected polygons (quads).

- Importing paths from SVG document resulted with empty path(s).

Steps to reproduce:

1. File->Open and select SVG document (attached), click Open.
2. Set checked "Import Paths" and "Merge Imported Path *".
3. Select "Path" dialog (i.e. from the menu Windows->Dockable Dialogs->Paths).
4. Try to show "Imported Path". 

The bug: Path is empty.

(*) If this option is unchecked the both paths are imported as empty.
Comment 1 Mirza 2010-09-10 20:15:38 UTC 
Expanding the step 2 (click 'OK').

2. Set checked "Import Paths" and "Merge Imported Path *", click 'OK'.
Comment 2 Mirza 2010-09-10 21:02:32 UTC 
A meaning of "empty path" is that it exist as an entry in "Path dialog" but
it cannot be showed/displayed on canvas.
Comment 3 Simon Budig 2010-09-10 23:55:15 UTC 
Fixed in current git.

The problem occurred due to the space at the end of the "points" string. Gimp miscalculated the number-count and then rejected the path data, since 9 numbers cannot properly describe a set of coordinates (needs an even number of numbers).
