I should also add that i'm using Inkscape 0.41, and i would guess this RFE would be implemented using two different buttons:
a "delete node" button that would work as now
and a new "delete node smoothly" button that would work as i've described.
thanks again,

(apologies: a question from an Inkscape newbie)
Can i ask an associated question around making objects from traces (and apologies for hijacking the thread):
In a proprietary drawing package i used in a previous life, removing a single node from a path would do a "simplify" in a small sense: it would automagically change the control points of the surrounding (one or two) nodes so that the path maintained as close a fit to the original path as possible.
I've found this is particularly useful for creating objects from traces, as it generally removes the "bumps and lumps" traces create, generally making a very pleasing simplified shape, albeit on a manual basis (i find the existing simplify a bit too "strong").
I've tried to find this functionality in inkscape, but i can't seem to locate it. Am i missing something? if this function is not in inkscape, does anyone else think it's a worthwhile RFE?
Does anyone know what i'm on about?!
And by the way, Inkscape is extraordinary already. i love it: i use it most days for work creating Theatre Programmes. Thank you!
