[solved] Increase path - new node

Postby Grobe » Sun Oct 24, 2010 4:20 am

Hi.

If I where to make a path longer, it would be great if I could do this directly:
* Select an end node
* point the mouse somewhere else on the canvas
* Shift + double click (or similar).

Then a new segment is created and new node whene I double clicked.

There's nuberous workaround, but I think this improve work flow.

This would be done with the Selection tool? Because already, if you simply use the Pen tool, you can do that, and with only a single click. Or do I not understand you?

You can do this directly with both Pen and Pencil tools. Select the path with node tool, switch to Pen or Pencil, click on the end node and click anywhere else. Note that with 0.48 you can also merge two separate paths with a new segment using Node tool.

Thanks. I didn't know shifting tool directly from node to pencil had this effect. That tip will save me for lot a time. Thanks again :D
