Dear Inkscape Team,
I try to make my bool LPE work with any objects, not just paths. I got around most issues (like getting a PathVector from an SPItem), but I am lost with ClipboardManagerImpl::getFirstObjectID which is used by OriginalItemParam. It is restricted to very few object types (g,path,use,text,image,rect). Since the clipboard is used to set the operand path of the LPE, it is restricted to these types.
Is there a good reason for this restriction or is this a bug / non feature? What would be an appropriate SVG tag list?
This function seems to be used only in very few places, so I guess it wouldn't do a lot of harm to fix it? Would there be a better implementation than checking for a list of literal SVG types?
Btw.: Is the LPE parameter type OriginalItemParam / ItemParam operational or is this beta code I shouldn't use?
Best regards,
Michael
