I've started experimenting yesterday. And what I must say is congratulation! :) Snapping works now better then ever.
Thanks! That's of course always nice to hear :-)
You're welcome. ;)
Second problem...
Can you still reproduce it?
No. You were right. It was all about our obscure snapping configuration problem. Something really needs to be done here. I can't imaging all our user to be rocket scientist (in inkscape configuration area), especially the first time they are introduced to application.
And the last thing... Think of better snap indicator. I can cover present one too easily with mouse pointer. Especially if using a bit "bigger" mouse pointer theme. KDE4 has oxygen which quite problematic for snapping.
That's a stock GTK indicator I believe, it's the best we have at the moment. But it indeed is small and also too thin to notice, you're right about that. It's on my wish list to have it replaced, but I'm not sure what this would take...
It's just temporary path. Isn't it? I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with GTK+ alone.
More observations:
When freehand path drawing (pencil tool) gets intercepted by snapping, it became almost useless. Try this, the simplest case: In new document turn on "Snap to page border" only and switch to pencil tool. Start drawing outside page and then head toward the border itself. Wait until first snapping starts and continue drawing inside page area.
Next one. Try attached .svg file. Grab lower object by placing pointer at X-like drawn hole, click and gently move up to touch upper object. I get no snapping. It might be something with tweaking existing "weight" variable, although I'll try not compiling manually changed source. Unless you specifically say so. :)
