Bug Description

Feature request: add a checkbox "live preview" to the "create tiled clones" dialog (similar to eg. the live preview for the interpolate extension).

(Side note of minor importance: For consistency throughout Inkscape dialogs, maybe also rename the "create" button to "apply".)

Note: this is *not* a duplicate of bug #281719 "clone dialog improvement". I do not request a preview in the dialog, but rather a live preview on canvas.

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170745

Live-preview on-canvas still needs to create (and remove again) the clones (actual objects), so live-preview needs to be 'cancel-able' with immediate effect, otherwise this could cause unwelcome hangs, especially if the targeted 'new' users toggle the button on/off quickly because they might not get an immediate preview (e.g. due to the complexity based on the chosen parameters).
