would it be possible to make the dissolve vertex option use this to keep the curve shape intact when removing knots?

This was added rB143f6c4bb24a88f76fe9823d6ad461896f3a76af (delete menu, as with mesh)

Tested this option already, but the shape is really changed.

• the first line is the original one
• the 2nd, grey, in edit mode, is the best I could manually get by editing the same curve with one knot dissolved, keeping all handle types to aligned.
• the 3 one is the result of just dissolving one point (result is about 1.5m away from the original one).

File used for screenshot:

With a ration of 0.9 with the file above https://developer.blender.org/F320650 I get inverted knots (like 180 degree rotated for one of the handle, see on left in the picture) and other artifacts:

@mathieu menuet (bliblubli), are you testing curve decimate or the dissolve option?

(Please report any issues with daily builds to the tracker directly).

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) I used Curve decimate. I just mentioned dissolve in the post from Jul 9. because you proposed to use dissolve and I wanted to show the shortcomings. I can make a report for it on the tracker if you want.
