Propose to change the Guide UI to match the Grid UI as below.
- Guides would be "off" by default (if not specified in the doc)
- Toggling "View->Guides" would create guides (same as "Edit->Create Guides
Around the page") if there is no existing guide. 3. Add a button : "Document Properties->Guides->Remove Guides" 4. Remove menu item : "Edit->Create Guides Around the page" 5. Remove menu item : "Edit->Delete All Guides"
Please no. Reading the bug report, the entire issue seems to be based on the assumption that toggling guide visibility when there are no guides is confusing to the poor, easily befuddled users. This, of course, is a false assumption ;)
I could get behind something like:
Document with guides in 'visible' state: Menu item changed to read 'View->Hide Guides'
Document with guides in 'hidden' state: Menu item becomes 'View->Show Guides'
But for everything listed in the bug report... kill it. Kill it with fire ;)

PS - I recently did a fresh OS install so I'm back on 0.48 for now, but I don't recall the guide behavior being any different in recent trunk.
