Hello, I have recently upgraded inkscape.

In the old version 0.47 I had the ability to merge multiple paths by pressing Ctrl and + together. I used this feature a lot.

With the newer 0.48.1 version I noticed that this feature merges only 2 paths at a time, which is unpractical for me. It means I need to do in multiple steps what I used to do with one push on a button.

I'd like to know if it's still possible to merge multiple paths at once in the new version (like some preference I need to set), or do I need to downgrade to get this feature back? If I need to downgrade, then where could I find the older version?

Thanks!

I just tried it and Ctrl + + merges more than one object at once, just select all of the objects you want merged and use the shortcut.

That's weird! Yesterday I did that and it didn't work. Today I did the same and it DID work.

I have no idea how this is possible.
Thanks!

In my experience it only works if all the objects are paths, or can be trivially converted to paths (e.g. rectangles, circles and so on). If one of the objects is a group or clone it doesn't work. Failures like that are reported in the status line, so it's worth having a look at that if you have the problem in future.
