Hi Carl!
Just wanted to drop you an email and see how things are going? We've not heard from you in quite a while.
We're about to start the release process for Inkscape 0.44, and I just wanted to follow up with you on how the snapping code is, and if there are any remaining fixes you'd like to get in for this release?
The snapping code looks good, but there's one bug identified in the snapping code that would be very nice to get resolved:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1429049&gro...
We're thinking of a feature freeze within a couple weeks, and a (hopefully) short bug fix period. Do you think you'll have time within the next few weeks to look at this one?
Thanks, Bryce

We have no shortage of snapping requests - just search our RFE tracker or this list. Personally, I think the most urgent change is to make grid snapping snap only to the visible grid lines - that is, if you zoomed out so that every 10th line is shown, snap only to those 10th lines, not to the invisible lines in between. This should take care of most of the "snapping does not work" complaints, because at most practical zooms, snapping distance is smaller than the visible distance between grid lines, and may be even smaller than a screen pixel, so people just don't realize that it's actually snapping.
I think Carl is working on that, but I could look.
Carl, so are you working on this?
I'll take a look.
Also, could you please make sure that your new object snapping and any other user-visible snapping changes are described in the rel notes?
Yes, I'll sort out the release notes and RFEs when I've got the new snap code into a state that I'm happy with. There's still some problems.
Cheers
Carl
