To answer both of you: an LPE can output only a single path. It is a mathematical procedure on path data, for one path only. Because the desired result cannot be represented by a single path, it is impossible to get that result by applying any kind of LPE on a single path. You have to create multiple paths to create the desired result. Indeed it is awkward to create a dummy path. This is because we have no LPE-generator objects in place that effectively generate path data out of nothing (so without needing path data to begin with). I could create a menu item under "Clone" that makes an 'original path data clone', that would create a dummy path, apply the Clone original LPE and link it to the selected path.
Ciao, Johan
Yeah that's what I thought. A menu item would certainly be useful, both for productivity reasons and exposing the feature to new users.
