Convert dashed stroke to a regular path using Inkscape

Question

For example i want to convert the following shape :

to a group of paths so i get path points in all edges.

Answer 1

Extensions → modify path → convert to dashes does exactly what you want.

Answer 2

You could always use Path -> Stroke to Path and although that would convert the shape into a single path it does give you nodes on all edges like you asked for.

Answer 3

Finally i got the answer it was very simple, sitting there in front of me, but for some reason i didn't catch it!, anyway here is the solution :

1) draw a circle for example.

2) Remove fill color.

3) Set stroke color.

4) Choose dashes type from stroke style with the appropriate width

5) From the main menu click on Path > Stroke to Path

6) That's it.
