Is there any tool that would just let me click an empty area and have it automatically create a new shape by detecting the edges of nearby paths? This vector equivalent to the bitmap fuzzy-select/ magic-wand tool would be extremely useful.
Would you want it to follow invisible edges? I commented on the feature request, but someone else said that it would be better to rasterize the image, trace the shape, and then vectorize the result. I think this is a mistake, it should follow edges exactly. If there are hidden edges then this can be overcome by creating a number of shapes and welding them together.
