Duplicate pattern option redundant for Scatter extension
Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1733228
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Inkscape
- Draw a rectangle and convert to path
- Draw a long line
- Select both
- Go to menu Extensions > Generate from Path > Scatter
- Apply
What happened?
- Duplicate pattern before deformation does nothing
- We already have Original pattern will be: (Moved | Copied | Cloned)
- Comment in pathscatter.py
TODO: allow 4th option: duplicate the first copy and clone the next ones.
What should have happened?
- Remove the duplicate pattern option.
- Maybe it could interact with the "Original pattern will be" option, but it's probably better just to add a fourth option to (Moved | Copied | Cloned)
