Hi,
I applied the path difference many times on different PATH or object transformed in path, but this times it doesn't work my I miss something.
In the SVG file I attached to this post I would like apply the the path difference with the green form. I don't know why Inkscape doesn't respond "Ctrl + -"
command.
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if this changed in 0.92, but in 0.91 I'm getting:
That's because the green object is a group (with one single object in it). So you'll need to ungroup it first, I don't know if 0.92 does that automatically.

No, I just tested in 0.92.1, and as always, path operation won't work with a group (whether it's the top object or bottom one).
