    Silly question.

    I'd drawn my river with a 1 point pencil, did an alpha-to-selection on a "Rivers" layer, saved that selection to a path.

    The script goes up one side of the selection and down the other - negating any taper.

    Update - when I woke up, I finally thought to zoom in on the path, and sure enough, the path is the selection as promised It goes around my 1px line.

    Update 2 - the power of Google compels me to report that Ctrl-Shift click on a path node or segment deletes said target. Somewhat tedious, but I reduced my path to a line rather than an enclosed shape, and now it works as expected.

    FWIW I was doing it this way because I didn't feel like I was getting the right sort of squiggly lines for the rivers doing a path with the path tool - too much clicky to make enough nodes that I could squiggle it out.

    Thanks!
