Posted an Update on the bug page. I think it was the path in question that was the culprit.

This workaround seems to help things (?)
Select path>Break Apart>Union>Apply Fillet Chamfer effect to path

Anyone else notice this behaviour?

Posted a bug to launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1567661 After applying the effect to 2 paths, it crashes when I try to add it to a 3rd... Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. It's a super-useful effect so it would be great to get it working better (if it's not just ...

Thanks! I didnt know I could scroll down to view the lpe settings, thanks!

Haha I'm so sorry Lazur!

I didn't realise I could simply scroll down to view more path effects settings for this extension! My bad!

Hi Lazur, Thanks for your answer, though I don't follow... The Path is still a stroke, not a fill as far as I can tell as I'm using the power stroke extension... I have tried using the Marker endings in the stroke style dialog box but they either dont work or give unexpected results. Where are the s...

How to apply a line-cap style to a “power stroke” path in Inkscape? I have used the Power Stroke Inkscape extension to add a dynamic stroke width to my path. However, I notice that the line-cap settings are greyed out and I can't seem to round the stroke caps on the path with "Power stroke"...

Hehe yeah it would be a big one, I think. Thought it might be useful to post the use case, should any devs be interested.

I can definitely work on my logo much faster thanks to your extension. Thanks for your help!

@Moini Sorry, I'm only realizing now how much work it would take to achieve all this! I guess it wouldn't be true to the nature of the Division operation. I would use this technique fairly often if it was available. For e.g., at the minute I'm working on a floral logo that uses overlapping transpare...

http://i67.tinypic.com/2w23n1y.png [Edited post: Testing out a number of different scenarios...] Just did a quick test. All the colours are in tact :) No more duplicating or unifying! Nice job, Moini! Which leads me to another question... It would be great if there was a way of dividing a group of ...

Aw that's excellent, Moini :) Looking forward to using this on my next logo. Thanks for spending your time on this. That's a nice quick and dirty method, Polygon. Unfortunately using bucket fill isn't a super accurate tool for pixel perfect design, but I may try it out in other work. It looks like t...

I may try replying to the list email then and failing that, I think I can mail via the inkscape website. Thanks for the info

I see what you mean. I've subscribed to this thread anyway so I'll be in the know! What is the best way to contact the developers? I've subscribed to the mailing list but I don't have permission to view sender emails

Hey, just commented before I saw this post! I didn't go into detail about use cases yet however. Limiting operations to one path really slows down workflow, I don't see the harm in removing the limitation. I'll try and put an example together in the next day or so

@Moini Sounds good It'd be great if this works out. @brynn I get you. I wonder how other users approach this

Ah that would be great, Moini I think multiple path boolean operations would be great for Illustrator to Inkscape converts such as myself. Very useful for intricate logo design. Looking forward to seeing what happens with this!

Hey Brynn :) Yeah that would be great if you could. I contacted the author on the Scribus forums as I recognized his pic (I sound like a stalker), however it seems like it was a while back since that extension was made, so I'm guessing it doesn't work anymore... I posted this to the google plus comm...

Hey Moini, thanks for the link! Looks useful. I wonder how we could find someone kind enough to adapt it?

By the way, I found this on Github, but strangely there is no extension file up there...
https://github.com/aoloe/inkscape-divide-below

I know Inkscape can only divide one path at a time. But what methods can be used in projects with many paths? On stackexchange, I have outlined one method, however this is far from perfect; Using an exclusion path to cut combined paths below does not suit every situation. Please have a look here and...

I would love to see this tool being implemented. Difficult, though it may be, it would be a godsend for more complex illustrations, where the workaround becomes less feasible. Who do I have to sleep with to get a vector based bucket fill?? :v

@Moini Ah that's good to hear. Yeah I'll spread the word. I can't code unfortunately though! I'm a graphic design graduate. Hopefully I'll be employed by Spring though XD @brynn A poll sounds like a great idea. And I understand your frustration. If your refering to that "This bug effects me too...

:D I would like to talk to the developers. But from reading some discussion on Inkscape, there's a lot of disagreement about what should be worked on. I have submitted my email for that dev list so I hope I'm added to it. Yeah I have been on launchpad but much of what I'm interested in doesn't seem ...

Hey Lazur, I didn't realise the anti-aliasing was a another problem with the bucket-fill thing... Hopefully something can be done about it. Do you mind explaining why the Beziers are not capable of path to path filling? (or even just link me :) ) If a shape can be filled in this way, I would have th...

Thanks brynn for the info! :D I have to say, I'm a little scared of talking to the devs! I understand that they have their own goals for the project. But as I've said elsewhere, I can't help but feel that a few specific improvements could really make this tool even better. Especially for graphic and...

Inspired by the success of Krita's Kickstarter campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krita/krita-free-paint-app-lets-make-it-faster-than-phot , I'm wondering if a similar approach could be taken to develop Inkscape. I realise that a possible lack of consensus on where the project money would...

Since this discussion, I notice Krita has successfully used a Kickstarter campaign to address some of its development issues. I'm wondering if this approach could be done to address issues like this one in Inkscape? Fixing this would really make Inkscape a viable solution for designers, and make it ...
