You can tweak settings for each Net Class.

You can choose to make the modification in place or in a duplicate file (default). 
This plugin works by approximating arcs with many small segments, making PcbNew laggy and track modifications extremely difficult after the plugin has been run. I hope this plugin become eventually obsolete with the futurs enhancements of KiCad.

The new file has the same name as the old except the extension is `.kicad_pcb-rounded`.
You may want to verify that nothing is broken by running the DRC before plotting your board. 
All zones are refilled after the process.
