They've mystified me since I noticed them.

Lords of Illustrator, forgive your humble servant's blatant ignorance, but searches and experimentation have come up disinsightful (possible a new word) - what do you do with these?

(Right now, I'm making a focused effort to figure out everything I can do with live Appearance Panel effects - the more I know, the better I feel I set up artwork, non-destructively. It's great. Correct Answer will manifest happy dancing.)

Applying Outline Path effect can also make text wrap work on an open path:

Among other things they are useful (and often required) in conjunction with Pathfinder effects.

Are you interested in some sample files for detection?

Heh, sure Kurt. Thank you for your time. And, just to be clear - what I'm interested most in is dispelling my ignorance. Anything that achieves that is a wonderful thing.

A simple example - In the case of Outline Stroke, basically it would have susequent effects operate on the resulting outlined object (the one on the right) as opposed to the stroke (left example)

It is an odd one to puzzle out, as by itself, it appears to do nothing. And yeah, the appearance panel kicks ass. I remember the epiphany when I discovered it and was like "wow - I've been doing it ALL wrong..." [edit:] Amusingly (well, now anyway) the other "oh my god" moment was finding offset path and realizing that I didn't have to do it by hand.

Using an Effect is just a way to nondestructively do the same thing as Object>Path>Outline Object or Outline Stroke. Set up two of the same objects and compare the results.
