I was just editing some paths in Inkscape and found myself wanting to add a circle to the path. ... I'm not proposing to do it myself (sorry!), but does anyone have any comments on how hard/useful this feature idea would be?
Well, (as you may know already) at the moment Inkscape doesn't make circles by making a circle or an arc. Instead it relies on custom attributes to store the properties of a circle. So if you wanted to be able to make a subpath that looks and behaves (UI-wise) as a circle I think it may definitely be non-trivial. (Although it would obviously depend a lot on how much of the UI could be reused.) But I'd love to be proved wrong, I've also long wanted to be able to edit arcs in the node tool for example.
