Comment 4 for bug 512447

A comment to the attached SVG file 'flourish 1d.svg': to me this looks as if a bitmap image of a flourish was traced in color/grayscale modus with 8 stacked scans instead to use other options (e.g. color quantization with 2 colors if the bitmap is b&w or grayscale) to get a single path (or two) outlining the flourish design. The resulting grouped stack of 8 paths (with minimal offsets) from 'Trace Bitmap…' then seems to have been exported to DXF without any further editing, resulting in a (correct and readable DXF) file I really doubt to be useful for a Desktop Cutting plotter.

I don't see a bug in Inkscape here but maybe the need for improved tutorials how to convert scanned images into vector graphics suitable to use for cutting?

Note: I could be completely wrong though - I have no personal experience with cutting software/hardware myself - and modern cutters still would produce a good result once the DXF file or Inkscape's RoboMaster output format can be opened - maybe the Windows file associations need to be corrected as well (with regard to "my file saves as a Microsoft Picture It file instead of a dxf file").
