Hi,
I was playing a bit with this new snapping toolbar. I must say that I really like it, since most of my sketches are more of a technical nature, where snap tool is a _must_. However, there are few things I have noticed:
1) How come that snapping behavior is much better when drawing new things than when editing existing paths/objects, i.e. moving nodes, paths, objects etc. Snapping while editing seams more like old snapping behavior, i.e. before adding weight factor. It would be cool if snapping behavior would be the same in both modes (using a new one of course :))
2) There are no icons for snap to grid and snap to guides. Is this intentionally or they are simply not added yet? I believe adding those would be good as well.
3) Maybe it would be better to separate toolbar in 3 sections, like a) toggle all snapping, b) what snaps and c) what does it snap to. Anyway, this is only a thought.
If it helps, I'm on Win XP, using build 20525 from modevia. Unfortunately the testing in this one is a bit harder, since it constantly crashes (I think it has nothing to do with snapping though).
But otherwise this snapping just rocks now :)
Regards, Rok

New as of revision #20491: the much requested and long overdue toolbar with snapping controls!
Please test it and report any bugs. Question to you all: do you think we can remove the "snap" tabs in the document properties dialog, except for the snapping distance sliders?
If you don't need it, just turn it off and it won't bother you again. If you don't like it, then please draw me some new icons. Please forgive, these are the first icons I've ever drawn :-). Obviously, there are no Tango icons yet either.
On Linux, please don't forget to do a "make install" to install the new icons.svg file.
