And when all search field is checked and you search for line width, it's hardly work like the utopia I dreaming of. Not at all.
The find dialog is indeed a bit limited, you might want to look at existing wish list items in our bug tracker and add your own suggestions where necessary. For example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/172049
When you have the InkScape Preference option: /I//nkScape Preferences/Tranform..............uncheck ”Scale stroke width,/it scale lines anyway. Your 2px line can now be 1.935637 or 2.136549 (the number is just to illustrate)
So if you work in discipline manner, it doesn’t help. You perhaps dont't get a hit on 2px line width because it's 1.935637 .
To my surprise this indeed seems to be the case. I recommend creating a bug report for this (if it doesn't exist yet). This can be done here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/ (Note that there is no strict separation between bugs and wish list items/feature requests, they are just sorted into different categories.)
... -*Origin-*
A circle/ellipse should NOT move the center/origin when you shift to segment or arc circle. It's still a object primitive. It's wrong, so wrong.
The center/origin disappear from the screen when you move the object, and turn up again when you finish moving, it's to late. The center/origin is GUIDE, so I want to see it. (when you move with the arrow keys I can see it, but........)
Feel free to create "bugs" for these (see link above). This will generally work better than just sending your plea to this mailing list (although doing both can be effective), as bugs will stay around and we regularly try to eliminate as many as we can (also, if someone is working in a certain area he might have a look at related bugs to see if there are any that can be squashed).
-*Bounding box-*
The bounding box around a ellipse should follow the rotation of the ellipse, when it still is a object primitive (A preference option.......please)
If you're talking about an object with a transform attribute set to some rotation, that might make sense (again, feel free to create/edit a bug report/wish list item). If not, then it's trickier.
