One feature that would be really nice if one can
"node-edit" an image, which crops it. What I mean is: select an image, switch to the node tool, then knots appear on the 4 corners of the image. When the knots are moved, a clipping mask is applied to the image and the knots (and corresponding path) belong to this clipping path.
Why a rectangle and not an arbitrary shape?
I think the idea of auto-applying a clippath to an image in Node tool is good, but it must happen not on switch to the tool of course, but e.g. on doubleclicking the image in the Node tool.
Any arbitrary path. The node tool starts out with a rectangle, because in that case no clippath is applied. Clippath is applied when nodes are moved. Doubleclicking is maybe better, but perhaps a bit weird for people that automatically double click some times... ;)
Just throwing the idea out here. Haven't thought about making it Inkscape-grade user friendly :-)
