Extrude by moving nodes [feature request]
Feature Request
Extruding one or some grouped objects by adding extrude handles.
CURRENTLY IN PLACE
* The first click on an object (such as a few typed letters).
Result: dotted bounding box appears around the selection along with eight two-arrowed control points to resize the item.
* The second click on an object.
The control points change that offer a new selection of reshaping and rotation choices.
CURRENT REQUEST:
Clicking an object a third time surrounds the item with a red bounding box with four control points that perform an extrude on the object when any control point's position is moved. This would work indpendent of the Extrude feature (which would not be removed from Inkscape) found under Extension > Generate from Path > Extrude...
REASON:
Extruding in Inkscape is not as flexible or as "user friendly" as it could be. The new user, drawing from Extension > Generate from Path > Extrude... would not immediately see the need for an extra item to be created (rectangle, elipse, etc) into which the item to be extruded must be added.
