Hi,

"PixelSnap is an extension for Inkscape, an incredibly useful vector graphics app. It allows you to align rectangles & paths to pixel boundaries, to create sharp web & digital graphics."
IMO, we need it shipped by default until we have a global solution (if ever) :)

I'll save you "bumping" this message. Seems like a nice extension to have... I'd like to see this upstream.

Hmmm... given that I'm not familiar with many open source licenses, will this be a political issue? I'm basically wondering if this is deemed an issue by any of our developers to distribute something that is under an MIT license along with Inkscape (which as far as I know the rest of Inkscape is either GPL only or multi-licensed GPL+other stuff).
Cheers, Josh
MIT is GPL-compatible. It's much more liberal than the GPL. (And thus in my opinion is a far better license.)
It'd probably be simpler to contact the chap who wrote it and arrange to get it under the GPL and under the umbrella of Inkscape rather than as a separate project, and kill off the Google Code one after that (we can even keep all seven revisions of its trunk history).
I imagine we'd also want to change the ID of the extension from bryhoyt.pixelsnap as well.

I'm good at making two things: mistakes and enemies.

Can you please explain how all of Diederik's great work has so far failed to provide a solution for this? In particular, I think we have a workable always-snap mode with a grid.

While I don't disagree with you (we're technical users), I will comment that people want a quick, easy, and more "lazy" way to achieve this. The summary "I want to work quick and dirty and have an easy way to auto-fix my work when I'm done".

The biggest benefit is when working with existing images that were not necessarily drawn to pixel snap.
Or after rescaling images and resnapping the elements to the nearest pixel.
