Hi,
When did anyone actually last use masks and clipping paths? We advertize that it's possible now to edit applied masks and clipping paths on canvas, but it really doesn't work at all.

Works for me, but when testing it I found a crash which I fixed in 22470. The fix is a simple check which should do no harm; it is superficial (the real reason lies deeper) but since this part of the code is going to be replaced by Krzysztof's patch anyway, it should be good for the release.

Um. So you import a bitmap image, draw a path on top of it, select them both, left-click to open context menu, choose either "Apply mask" or "Apply clipping path", switch to Node tool, click the corespondent button on tool's options toolbar and can edit nodes of either mask or clipping path?
Because it doesn't work for me on two completely different Linux systems (Ubuntu 8.10/amd64, ALT Linux 5.0beta/i386).

What doesn't work? There's an open bug (#351281) about transformations (translate) of the clipped object not being applied to the clipping path i.e. if you moved the image or resized the page the clipping path still is at the old location.
Both 1) draw two paths, select both, object - clip - set, node tool, edit clippath, drag a clippath node, undo 2) node-editing a clipping-path or mask of a linked bitmap work for me without crash and as expected (r22465 on OS X 10.5.8)

What doesn't work?
I'm pretty sure I said what doesn't work in the very first mail :) Did you read it? :)
Anyway, it looks like I got it to work on the second mentioned system. Didn't see that 30 minutes ago, weird.

…but it doesn't say more than 'doesn't work at all' which IMHO is still vague (at least in a bug report I'd ask the reporter to describe it in more detail ;-)

it works on Windows tested with the last dev. build for windows (pre 4).
