a) Definitely the easiest choice. This is effectively what we did for the new guides too. pre-0.49 will not be able to see grids and guides.
b) More flexible solution. Can preserve forward-compatibility for pre-0.49. But much more work.
Just now I remember that the coord change for guides and grids now breaks all UI spinboxes that show the y-coordinate of the grid origin / guides. So additional work is needed to clean that up. Because we have a GSoC student interested in improving the guide UI, I am thinking about keeping the grid/guide stuff in the branch for now and have the student work on that.
Hi Johan,
Can you get a quick summary of the differences and problems up onto the wiki?
I think I have a general solution that would work for grids and guides alike, and it won't be significantly more work at all. However, getting a clear statement of the actual issues to be addressed will help clarify.
