I wonder how you did that? Did you trace it with the pen tool in Illustrator? Chances are the svg contains a polyline (an object) rather than a path. Open the SVG in an editor, should tell you. If that is the case you can convert the object to a path in Inkscape. example attached. Another indicator is opening the svg in Gimp, tick the Import paths and no paths in the paths dialogue. You can also import a path from an svg from the path dialogue, no path? Complain to Adobe. As previous post, no good using selection -> selection to path which will give an outline. You might actually have the whole canvas selected. If that is the way you want to go, you need a center-line trace. You can do that in Inkscape providing you have Autotrace installed. There is a plugin for Gimp that works with simple images see: https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9=17485 Also need Autotrace.

It converts the shape of the selection to a path. GIMP is a BITMAP editor. When you select all, you are selecting the rectangular area around the bitmap. You might see lines and shapes from teh SVG diagram, but they are not lines and shapes: they are pictures of lines and shapes made from coloured pixels. One you have opened it in GIMP it is no longer SVG. So, the path you are making is a rectagle. What exactly are you trying to do? Your steps don't make sense to me. Are you hoping to trace a bitmap image that's inside an SVG image, and to covert that traced path to a new SVG path? If so, Inkscape can do this, but not GIMP (GIMP is more like PhotoShop than Illustrator).
