I have a few questions/comments about rotation.
First a confession: for the last week I thought the "snap to angle with ctrl" function was broken. It wasn't. I had the snapping set at 2 degrees and the angle indicator in the status bar follows pointer. So I didn't notice that the bbox actually was snapping and I convinced myself it wasn't snapping because of the numbers didn't snap. The point is I'm wrong a lot. But would it make sense if the number in the status bar 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?
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.
