Keep the feedback coming :) Be patient, the next 3 weeks nothing will happen on my side. Of course, there is always a chance that someone else jumps in and helps with the finishing touches. (yes, an invitation :)

Awesome! Some feedback of my own:
- So powerstroke is now available from the shapes drop-down:
Very neat! Can the "eclipse" form also be replaced by a powerstroke? It's actually the most common usage scenario.
The Ellipse shape is somewhat harder to mimic correctly, but doable. Low priority for me though.
Also, I recommend adding a separation line between the powerstrokes and "from clipboard", to show that they are different functions.
Thought of that too. Don't know how... (yet)
- Cusp styles are currently either Beveled or Rounded. How
complicated is the coding for an "Angled" option? For font designers in particular, thick powerstrokes using successions of angled segments render a bit strangely, when some may be hoping for sharp edges (Example: the letter A with a sharp top)
Highest priority. Already started working on it. The way I envision it will be kick-ass, but a tad complicated, so... (all other activity is most likely delayed until this is done :) Also, the rounded style is bugged and needs to be fixed. (perhaps a 2geom bug)
(I thought I suggested this before, but the mail never seems to have reached the mail archive...)
Yes you did, but I lost the mail :S
- Does anybody think he might need an "assymetric" option?
He would have to wait until all else is done.
- +1 on the "Filled Powerstroke" (or whatever it will be called) option
in the drop down.
Very easy to implement. If someone wants to help me out, add the creation of the dummy path, etc, to spdc_apply_powerstroke_shape in draw-context.cpp.
As for manually setting the width value for powerstroke points, I suggest click-enter for a numerical box to appear near the point, for the user to input the value.
Yep, perhaps on double-click?
