HI.
I have imported a little image and I have a path.
Is there possible to place numberous copies of the object that is placed onto the path? Something like tiled clones.

Re: Place objects on path
convert your image to a pattern - object menu/pattern/ object to pattern, then select path first then object and do extensions/generate/scatter.
that should be all.

Re: Place objects on path
Thanks a lot 
Imagine it was impossible to find this explanation by a google search (same search phrase as thread subject). Now, if I search for this on google, this thread appear as number four. And I haven't even used "inkscape" in phrase
I have one little question remaining. I did the extensions/generate/scatter in Inkscape, and make it looks good. However, If I alter the original path, the pattern* won't change, it seems frosen.
Is it possible to do the same, but pattern will change along with the path when it's altered - Just like when putting text on path?
* all the copies of the image along the path, I guess it's right to call it pattern.
