Is --export-text-to-path the default in 1.3

Since 1.3 upgrade, conversions from PDF to SVG export text as path by default. There does not seem to be any way to export PDF as text anymore (e.g. as in +T instead of -T). Or at least I could not find that option to revert to previous behaviour.

Steps to reproduce:

In 1.3

  • convert a PDF into SVG (inkscape --export-type=svg my.pdf --export-filename=my.svg)
  • edit resulting svg or open in inkscape: text is converted to paths

in 1.2.2

  • same
  • text is preserved as text (unless you specify -T option)

Versions:

  • Inkscape 1.3 (1:1.3+202307231459+0e150ed6c4)
  • Inkscape 1.2.2 (1:1.2.2+202305151914+b0a8486541)

NB: using bundled poppler (not using --pdf-popper option).
