nononono. Snapping depends on zoom factor? Oh no, please.
Exactly the fact that it did not depend on zoom caused the original complaint in this thread. A person did not realize it was snapping because the snap was too small to see it at the current zoom. An interface which is so misleading must be fixed.
Yes, but if it depend on zoom how I'll now on which point it snap (0,5cm, 1cm, 5cm or 10cm)?
I understand that the Inkscape developers want to avoid having a mess of configuration options, but this zoom-grid interaction seems like it would be greatly simplified by a radio button in the grid preferences panel with two (mutually exclusive) options of "Snap to all gridlines" and "Snap to visible gridlines only".
If anyone is confused about why snapping is working the way it is, the first thing they will do is go to the grid preferences to make sure the settings are right. They will see that one of the two options is selected, and immediately understand why the program is behaving the way it is.
Personally, I will get used to it either way. But I do have to agree that, from a UI point of view, the application should do what I tell it. If I tell it to make a grid of X mm, and sometimes it doesn't snap to X mm, I would be confused.
