snapped with ctrl too? Or what if the number followed the object instead of the mouse? Would that make more sense or is the current behavior what one would expect?
fixed in CVS
Second, what would be the pros and cons of allowing a user to choose arbitrary degrees for snapping? I was just working on a pentagonal design. I though "Hey, this will be easy. I'll just set the snapping to 72 degrees. 72 is a nice even number, right." But it wasn't a choice. I suppose you can't have every factor of 360 in the list. In the end I was saved by the tile-clones dialog which doesn't have a list.
What is stored is the number of snaps per Pi, as an integer. This makes it impossible currently to store arbitrary angles, and even 72 because it's not a factor of Pi (i.e. 180). I can change it relatively easy to store the number of snaps per 2*Pi which will make it possible to add 72 to the list.
