Comment 4 for bug 1362534

I just tried this extension and like it a lot. There is just one thing that doesn't work: transforming text. Even when converting it to a path it won't work, I have to ungroup it first and then group it again. According to su_v the script assumes some style settings that might be missing.

Quote from IRC:

<su_v> houz: ok, the extension is lazy and relies on a style property present which may or may not be there
<su_v> probably a quick check whether stroke width is present or not in the individual object would allow it handle more types
<su_v> (it's not related to type, but to default properties added by Inkscape based on current style and other stuff)

Another issue raised by su_v is the placement of transformed faces and if those could be clones instead of duplicates (maybe with a toggle in the dialog to decide if clone or duplicate should be used:

<su_v> I wonder whether it would be possible to align the transformed faces (e.g. of a cube) so that they share a common type of 'origin'
<su_v> if a apply the three different facings to the same group, the results seem to be placed rather randomly (not really, but not where I'd expect them to be)

and

<su_v> would it be useful to have an option to 'clone and transform clone' instead of 'Duplicate and transform duplicate'?
