Deactivate knotholder?
What is the purpose of this checkbox in LPE parameters? Does it work at all? I tried it with Knot, but checking it does not remove the knot on the intersection.
I propose to remove it because it does not seem to serve a useful function, and because it uses the absolutely technical term "knotholder" which users have no idea about.

Indeed, I was noticing the same recently. I'm not a native speaker, but this word doesn't seam to be very meaningful.
I was also wondering about the "Visible" checkbox in the effect parameter. Isn't it useless considering there is an eye icon in the effect stack ? To my mind it unnecessarily adds something that is not a parameter into the parameter list. Steren

Yes, that would save quite some space in the dialog, even though it would make the visibility feature a little less discoverable.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I do not know where this checkbox came from; hopefully we can find it in the svn logs.
