Re: Snapping in 0.91

% has its own bug: it gets reverted with undo! The trouble is that % is all or nothing. I don't want snap turned off, I want it to work! Pressing % means that now instead of snap wildly misbehaving (such as being oblivious to any other objects and just snapping back to itself, even if that means a j...

Re: Snapping in 0.91

If you switch to use geometric bounding box from visual bounding box in the preferences … In fact, that option is so useful, I think it deserves its own menu item/toolbar button/keyboard shortcut. Thank you for the heads up! The work I tend to do (diagrams, including scale diagrams) is really awkwa...

Re: Snapping in 0.91

I have to wonder how many people even turn snapping on. I still maintain that snap is buggy, especially where during resize an object continually snaps back to itself (making it completely impossible to resize) and not to any other item on the page, but since nobody else ever sees anything like this...

Re: Snapping in 0.91

I've looked at templates, and that's whole other matter to itself. It's also quite a different concept from having the program simply come back as I left it.

Re: Snapping in 0.91

Rectangle corners are counted as nodes as well … So it does … that works the way I thought 0.48 did, when snapping seemed to make more sense to me. Part of the problem is that the snap settings keep changing — if they were saved as program (global) settings, and I'd found something that worked, I'd...

Re: Snapping in 0.91

Indeed, it's real nuisance that you can't control whether size, snapping etc applies to the path or to the styling, as both are equally valid. How you use snapping will depend entirely on your aims, and for me, global on/off isn't adequate, as I use many of the options routinely, including nodes to ...

Re: Snapping in 0.91

I don't know much about specific snapping bugs, but maybe if you search for 'snapping' at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape , you will find some known ones and can try to figure out if your problem is a bug (I get 120 results...). Nothing there seems to match what I'm seeing in the screenshots I ...

Re: Snapping in 0.91

I do use % (which frustratingly is reverted with Undo) but the granularity is too low, as I am likely to only want to knock out whichever snap mode is having ructions. I've attached a couple of images. Inkscape - snap 1 shows a resize in progress; notice that the extent of the resize is below the mo...

Snapping in 0.91

I'm curious to gauge opinion on 0.91's snapping. That is, am I experiencing bugs, or user error? Snapping is fairly complicated, after all. One option I notice is … let's call it eagerness. Sometimes when I'm trying to resize an object, it will shoot up in size to reach out to some nearby object, ma...
