pattern-along-path does not handle groups

[jfb]

Pattern along path does not handle groups correctly.
More generally, turning shapes, groups, or clones into flat paths fails.

The problem might affect in fact any extension based on "pathmodifier.py".
I think it is a side effect of the use of etree ("" versus None when reading empty attributes)

here is a fixed version of pathmodifier.py and pathalongpath.py

I revisited some involved scripts and ended up with some fixes and updates. In the same time, since selection order is not stable atm (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/182832) I changed to use the zorder instead. I also did some minor modifs to "interpolate.py" to base it on the pathmodifier class, so that it can handle groups, clones etc...

Find the following files below:

simpletransform.py: split from pathmodifier. A collection of functions for handling the transform attribute.
pathmodifier.py: emproved and a bit simplified.
pathalongpath.py: updated for the new pathmodifier.py and to use zorder to choose between pattern and skeleton.
pathalongpath.inx: updated UI.
pathscatter.py: updated for the new pathmodifier.py and to use zorder to choose between pattern and skeleton.
pathscatter.inx: updated UI.
interp.py: now based on PathModifier class; updated to sort input according to the zorder.

Sorry, I was not aware of patches... all the previous files in one patch now!

jfb, is this still relevant, or can we close it?

hi!
Oh! I completely forgot this. We can close it.
I marked it as fix released.
