Paste path effect works on all shapes but rectangles

[Hachmann]

Pasting path effects such as bend or power stroke from a path to a circle, spiral, star or even a box works (or at least changes the drawing...) using Copy, then Ctrl+7, but nothing happens for a rectangle.

Rectangle is handled in inkscape as a svg:rect. svg:rect couldnt have LPE (it convert to path on apply a new LPE)

[Hachmann (marenhachmann)]

Oh, I see - even a circle has 'path' in its id attribute. So circles are handled as paths?

[Jabiertxof (jabiertxof)]

Not realy, circles can have LPE but if has LPE or Edit to segment, for example, are converted to paths on save. Maybe is the good approach to rectangles...
