masks and clippaths

Hi,

When did anyone actually last use masks and clipping paths? We
advertize that it's possible now to edit applied masks and clipping
paths on canvas, but it really doesn't work at all.

Works for me, but when testing it I found a crash which I fixed in
22470. The fix is a simple check which should do no harm; it is
superficial (the real reason lies deeper) but since this part of the
code is going to be replaced by Krzysztof's patch anyway, it should be
good for the release.

Um. So you import a bitmap image, draw a path on top of it, select
them both, left-click to open context menu, choose either "Apply mask"
or "Apply clipping path", switch to Node tool, click the corespondent
button on tool's options toolbar and can edit nodes of either mask or
clipping path?

Because it doesn't work for me on two completely different Linux
systems (Ubuntu 8.10/amd64, ALT Linux 5.0beta/i386).

What doesn't work? There's an open bug (#351281) about transformations
(translate) of the clipped object not being applied to the clipping path
i.e. if you moved the image or resized the page the clipping path still
is at the old location.

Both
1) draw two paths, select both, object - clip - set, node tool,
   edit clippath, drag a clippath node, undo
2) node-editing a clipping-path or mask of a linked bitmap
work for me without crash and as expected (r22465 on OS X 10.5.8)

I'm pretty sure I said what doesn't work in the very first mail :) Did
you read it? :)

Anyway, it looks like I got it to work on the second mentioned system.
Didn't see that 30 minutes ago, weird.

…but it doesn't say more than 'doesn't work at all' which IMHO is still
vague (at least in a bug report I'd ask the reporter to describe it in
more detail ;-)

otherwise please file a bug ;-)
