Creating New Extensions Two simple extensions: Reverse order of subpaths / Number subpaths

    I have created and used two simple extensions quite often lately and thought I'd share them with you if someone else can make good use of them.

    It's all about combined paths and keeping control of the order (and direction) of these subpaths.

    I often work with combined paths where the order of the subpaths together with the direction is of importance to my projects either when designing things or when working on extensions to automate processes.

    So I have made one extension reversing the order of subpaths as I find it annoying that when I draw paths and combine them the order (not direction) is the reverse of the order in which I drew the paths. So this extension will reverse the order of the subpaths, but not reverse the directions.

    Next I have modified the Number Nodes extension (Visualize Path) to number subpaths within one path. I use this with Live Preview and there will be a green dot for each startnode and a red dot for each end node. The nodes will be numbered by a text flag with order of that subpath within one path.
