Scislac--I think your idea of an LPE is interesting... I was thinking of something along the lines of the 'star' or 'spiral' tools, where the object is defined by the locations of various node handles, or parameters set in the tool's toolbar. Why would it be preferable to have it be an LPE rather than such a tool? (or are those tools implemented internally as LPEs?)

I think of LPEs as generally more for 'advanced' users who wish to perform operations on existing paths. In contrast, the proposed feature could also just be a basic shape tool. What is the design philosophy of Inkscape with regards to this kind of decision?
