I want to be able to make paths that are mirrored or otherwise composed of identical path segments that have been transformed (rotated or flipped) but identical in shape, and still joined. This seems to me like it should be a simple process but I cannot find a way to do it. I know one can copy whole paths and transform those, but then I don't know how to cleanly rejoin them to the original path. Is there a reliable way to do this in Gimp? Do I need a plugin? Or should I just be using a different program? I'm on 2.8 at the moment. Thanks in advance.

The general download page is https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pa...s/scripts/ and there are a few other scripts that you can find useful such as ofn-path-edits (which can also "splice" together strokes where the end points are sufficiently near each other).
But if you use only paths, you find Inkscape more suitable.
