Try using "Select->To Path" -- Everything you describe is already possible. Although, maybe, selection->To path could have more usability if it would change to the Path Tool, with the new path as active, so that its nodes are displayed at once. Currently, one has to manually go to the Paths dockable, set the path as visible, select the Path Tool and click on the path (4 separate actions) before being able to see the handles. js -><- On 20 March 2015 at 06:01, Joseph Bupe <joseph.bupe@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > It would be nice to have controls for tweaking rectangle and ellipse > selections into different shapes for designing pixel-based graphics with > easy.
