Hello! I'm still having a tough time with Inkscape's snapping behavior. I'm trying to use it for technical illustration, and thus I find myself moving very large chunks of my drawings around throughout the design process, and need things to line up perfectly.
Good. Sounds like what I want to do in Inkscape ;-)
This is made more difficult by snapping confusion with the following points:

I know snapping may be a religious issue with some, and I know that someone else was working really hard on getting the snapping behavior "just right". I'm going to punt the rest of my real work for today and see if I can implement these changes in the current CVS -- what do people think, are these desired behaviors? If so, would a patch be well-received?
I was working on the snapping code a while back, but I got sidetracked with other stuff.
I think a patch would be well-received, at least so that everyone can try out the behaviours you are suggesting. They sound reasonable to me.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
Cheers
Carl
