hello,
I made recently my first draw using Live Path Effects. (see http://pannini.lesgeorges.org/media/couv_web.png) And I can tell : they are very powerful !
I wrote the main points that need to be corrected or at least discussed.
I know LPEs are not finished yet, but I want to be sure that those points are taken into account.

- I had a problem when I wanted to copy a path with a pattern along path applied : the "pattern source" is not copied but the two paths share the same "pattern source". If I want to modify the pattern source of my copy and not disturb the first one, I can't. To my opinion, this is really something to change.
- The same problem for the "bend path" effect

- In the last SVN, when you translate a object with a "bend path" effect, it translate well. But I really think that when rotating or scaling such kind of object, it should do the same : rotate and scale the "visual object" (maybe by rotating or scaling the "source path" too)

 - scaling or flipping an object with a pattern along path effect applied :
the source path is modified but not the "pattern source" => the "visual object" shape is not the same than before the transformation. ( see : http://pannini.lesgeorges.org/media/flip_prob1.png)
