Is there a script to select all the nodes inside a selection? - PixLab - 04-07-2023
I'm speaking about the nodes on a path, actually I need to select multiple nodes I want to move one by one
Select first one > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next > Shift Select next........ that get quickly very very annoying
I would like to know if there is something like make a selection, and just run the script and nodes inside the selection are selected
Simulation of a selection of multiple nodes

None I know of. My ofn-path-edit script can extract anchors that are in the selection (actually, delete everything not in th eselection) so you can isolate a part you want to work on, and then merge/splice it back when done.

Thanks Ofnuts, but I need the selected to stay connected with the non selected

As a picture is worth thousand words (ok here is one minute video)
Best example

See... how long it can takes just to select nodes, and it's prone to error.

Probably more a job for Inkscape, I guess.

I can (sort of) get a result using a couple of Ottia Tuota plugins crop_path.py and join_strokes.py but it is tedious joining the separated paths and the result has reversed strokes ...
My first inclination same as nelo, is Inkscape...but...am I the only one who finds Gimp scrambles Inkscape paths especially those from text.
I keep a old vector app SK1 https://sk1project.net/sk1/download/ for emergencies, It would be nice if the Gimp path tool eventually had a multiple node selection.
In the meantime a 1 minute example. https://i.imgur.com/deT92nm.mp4

I have found a solution about that scrambling problem, before exporting/saving as, I click on the "Make Selected Segments Curves", this add the missing handle/s (some time 1 or both) to the nodes, because GIMP seems to not like when it misses a handle on a node.
In all case, each time I'm switching to Inkscape when there are quite some nodes to select, I feel that I use the heavy artillery just for few nodes '
10-15 nodes to select, I stay with GIMP, though.

Thank you Rich but sadly I cannot install sk1 (I even tried version down until Ubuntu 16.04)
All the same error

I have both python2 and 3, anyway it should work as "active" python >= 2.7, no? (Ubuntu-MATE 20.04.5)
In terminal:
Code:
patrice@Ubuntu-Family:~$ python -V
Python 2.7.18
