If you need to do it through GUI there's an option for it in Inkscape Preferences (Shift + Ctrl + P) > SVG output > Path data > Allow relative coordinates.

It didn't work if I just saved the file. However, when I pasted the coordinates into a new file, they were converted.

I think you have to move the object to refresh the coordinates, you can select everything then use arrow keys to move right and then left to refresh entire document.
