Add BCPs to a path

I need to add BCPs to a path. I found a @mekkablue script to retract BCPs of a shape. Is there something the other way around?

Thankx

What do you need it for? The file size would increase quite a bit and you need to use the font quite big to see the difference.

Yeah I know, but at some parts I would like to have them to make an effect. I would like to select a zone and add the controls points just to selected ones…

And should it add the bcp on a straight line or try to make smooth curves?

After add them, I randomly move some of them

Look in my github gists. There is an Add BCPs or something like that.

it works, but it apply to all straight nodes instead of just selected. Is it incompatible with newer glyphsapp version?

Feel free to adjust it to your needs. It’s open source.
