bug 171967 addresses a different issue than what I am describing here.
It speaks about live interactivity and it is a feature request.
I am here talking about a usability issue related to the perspective extention limitation with objects not converted to paths and proposing a solution to this problem.

By the way, I thought about another, simplier possibility to fix this issue: if among the selected objects is at least one that is not converted to paths (like a circle or a rectangle) then a dialog window could pop-up to thell the user to convert objects to path. Something like "Please convert selected objects to paths before applying this effect" and an OK button that just closes the dialog and returns the user to the canvas. No error is displayed which is a lot more user friendly that the current behaviour.
