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 :-)
There are only few things I've noticed so far. First, snapping occurs at end of movement, but what happens with starting point.
This I should have noticed myself. Nevertheless, I think I just fixed this.
Second problem. This has nothing to do with grids. Draw rectangle and vertical line beside it. Drag middle side arrow to expand rectangle and you'll see that it simply wont snap to line. Dragging rectangle's corner arrow will. Although I can think of many use cases where it would be appropriate to keep object's height or width, it's not possible at the moment.
Are you sure? At first I thought that I could reproduce this, but that was only because I had the snapping parameters set-up wrong. A few things should be checked to avoid any confusion: make sure to select "snap to paths", set the snapping distance to max. for the object snapper, and wait at least for 400 msec for the snapping to kick in. Can you still reproduce it? If so, please send me your svg file.
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...
BTW, what's your IRC nick? Can't seem to find you there.
I'm not on IRC, sorry. Just drop me a mail directly....
Bye,
