dotCooCoo 3a336fd32f Path Precision Tools: Trim at Crossings removes the stretch of a path between crossings ...

The new Trim at Crossings Tool removes stretches of paths between the
places where they are crossed by another path or by themselves. A click
removes the stretch under the pointer, a drag removes every stretch its
rectangle touches, and an Alt-drag removes every stretch its freehand
line crosses. It works on every path that can be edited, selected or
not, and each gesture is one undo step.

- `addon.pathtools.trim {at, tolerance?}`, `{rect}` or `{points}` is the
  command behind the tool. A closed path that loses a stretch becomes
  open, an open path that loses a middle stretch becomes two paths with
  its appearance in its place in the stacking order, and a path that
  nothing crosses is removed whole. The stretches that stay get no new
  anchors.
- Hidden and locked paths, guides and clipping paths are not trimmed and
  do not count as crossing. Only the paths the gesture reaches are
  searched for crossings, and one work limit covers every path the
  command trims.
- `crossings_on` and `crossings_on_within` in `vectorcraft-pathops` find
  the crossings on one path and compare it only with the segments in
  its box.
- The new tool shares the crossing search with Add Points at Crossings
  and Split at Crossings, so those change too: two segments of a path
  that meet at an anchor, directly or across segments with no length,
  now count as crossing where they cross again away from that anchor,
  and do not count as crossing at the anchor itself. With Self
  Crossings, a curved segment that loops over itself counts as crossing
  itself. Before, both crossings were missed.
- The tool is an add-on tool: Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools
  and the All Tools drawer list it, it has no shortcut, and neither
  shipped toolbar shows it.
