Comment 5 for bug 1737311

It's version 1.2.x in 2022! Amazing journey till now by the team. Thank you all for Inkscape.

But still few minor problem persists. Like the Inset or Outset crooks the shape of the object. Also it converts objects to paths making it more harder to edit nodes.

I'd like to suggest the following regarding offset

- A Single offset command dialog should be enough for all types of offsets
- Parameter amount of Offset units - Inset(-ve) or Outset(+ve).
- Selection of simple, linked or dynamic should be in the dialog
- Options for corner type should be added in the dialog. ie Keep Sharp or Rounded.
- Offseting command should not convert objects to paths for simpler editing. Currently it becomes path in all.

For eample while offseting a rounded rectangle it should make the rounded exactly concentric by increasing the radius by the amount of offset not moving the center at all.

FYI, I'm running 1.2.1 in Windows 10.
