Summary	0017254: "Item > Path tools > Path operations" should be enabled for unions if more than two items are selected
Description	Currently, "Path operations" seems only to be enabled when exactly two items are selected. The simplest use case for also enabling larger selections is the union. The only big change needed is a more flexible selection of the source for the resulting color. I would suggest that, for multiple selections, the first two radio buttons should be replaced by a new radio button with a spinbox) And, according to https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,5318.msg24051.html#msg24051, there seems to be interest in doing so. For the sake of simplicity, the preview might then be turned off and only one "Keep" checkbox shown (keep all original items or none) "Intersection" and "not intersection" might also be kept (even if they might be less useful than the union)
