Extensions / Eggbot contributed / Stretch... does not stretch stars, spirals, or spiro paths

[ShelMi]

The stretch extension fails to transform spiro paths (neither bezier nor freehand), stars, or spirals. No error message is generated.

You may need to convert the objects to paths first.

Doh!! You are so right. My apologies, think I'll adopt radio silence for a while. 8^)

No silence necessary; I appreciate you mentioning these things, since they are important user-interface issues, even in those cases where the program is likely functioning as intended.

It is likely not easy to convert these types of objects into paths automatically. (For whatever reason, Inkscape extensions cannot call Inkscape's internal functions or menu items), but we should probably do a better job of making this clear to the user.
