Is the canvas rotate idea currently being implemented? I found the thread from April which had a lot of great ideas but I didn't know if anyone was working on it of if it's on the list of things to do.
No, mostly it just requires architecture work, but as far as I know nobody's actively working on it at this time.
I know what was discussed sounded like really clever stuff and I can only guess how difficult the feature may have been to implement. So I was wondering if a simple alternative could be adopted instead - the alternative being that instead of rotating the Inkscape viewport we rotate a SVG layer.
I think it's better if we bite the bullet and implement real canvas rotation, versus solutions that modify (and potentially chew up) the document.
