I'm looking for a way to draw a shape, then for each object I have selected, intersect it with that shape. I would do it by hand, but I'm looking at around 1700 objects (I think they are all paths, so no worries there)
If these 1700 objects do not intersect, you can do it by selecting them all, Path>Combine, then Path->Intersect with the cutter shape, then Path>Break Apart.
Wow, that is great. I'll have to keep that tool stashed in my head. Unfortunately, for this task, they do overlap and intersect. Is this something I should start looking at extensions for (perhaps even figuring out how to write one?). Is it at all like GIMP extensions?
