Alright, just got to try out the latest nightly build and the new LPE is excellent, works exactly like I'd hoped.
If I could make a possible UI suggestion, it might be nice to have this menu structure added to the right-click context menu for paths:
Variable Widths -> Create Variable Width Stroke Create Filled Variable Width Stroke
With the first setting up the Powerstroke LPE and the second doing both that and creating the 2nd fill path with the Clone original path LPE.
I refrain from commenting on this. I hope someone with a better feel for our UI can take over here. It is easy to implement, but I won't do it until I get green light.
This way the new features would both get more attention and be significantly quicker to get to. Also, if possible it would probably be better for "Create Filled Variable Width Stroke" to create the fill underneath the Powerstroke, since that would likely be the primary use case.
With that said, even without any further improvements this is already a great usability enhancement for me, and any further tweaks would just be icing on the cake.
Thanks :)
