Hi,

I thought that there would be a tool for selecting endpoints and startpoints of 
geometries like we can select centroids but  I could only find such tool from 
the Sextante toolbox under the Topology category. I am happy with the Sextante 
tool now once I found it but the task feels rather simple and it might be 
useful to have it also as a native tool.

We do have "Extract points" tool which can be used for finding the start points 
by selecting points with sequence_id from the result set. However, for end 
points the sequence_id varies. How about making a comprehensive Extract points 
tool with some enhancements? New check boxes should be added

-          extract all points

-          extract start points

-          extract end points

"All" should be mutually exclusive with the "start" and/or "end" selections and 
there might be new Boolean type columns "is_start" and "is_end" which would be 
populated also for the "All" selection. The attributes of the three-point 
resultset of "All points" run for a three-vertex line would look like:

FID                      item_id             sequence_id   is_start             
 is_end

1                                        0                   1                  
         1                           0

2                                        0                   2                  
         0                           0

3                                        0                   3                  
         0                           1
