Re: [Inkscape-devel] Arcs in the path editor.
Thanks for the observations below, I hadn't spotted one of those bugs.
For those that requested it, I have thrown together a quick demo video here:

The bug with the circle looks odd, perhaps related to the use of a 'Z'
to close the path, I'll take a look at this.
I could hide some of the extra buttons in a new sub-menu next to the
"Make segments arcs" button (like the "Insert node" sub-menu in the
same
toolbar).
That might help keep things tidy.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick replies and for being so welcoming.
I'll start making a demo video right away.
At least I have some time to neaten things up thanks to the feature
freeze.
I'll let you know when I have a demo video available.
Thanks.
Dan.

Definitely!

Please do.
The interface is a bit awkward but I don't have a better idea at this
point. It would probably be useful to be able to fix the tangents at
the nodes so the path is smooth at that point.
I see a couple of bugs in my five minutes of playing with it:
First one:
1. Draw a circle.
2. Convert to path (path consists of four arcs).
3. When adjusting one arc, the upper right arc is transformed into a
straight line.
Second one:
Converting from arc to Bezier (clicking the curve button) either does
not work or does not produce expected result of a Bezier that
approximates an arc.
