snapping of guides + node editing questions
hello,
one of my great latest discoveries in inkscape is the Snapping tool (or settings).
however, i have a question about snapping a guide to an object/object's node - is it possible? according to the settings (Ctrl+Shift+D -> Snap) it looks like it is, but whenever i drag a guide from the ruler part of the screen, no snapping happens. what am i doing wrong? or is it a bug?
also, my second point of interest is the node editing. one of the features i miss the most is the shortening of distance of two randomly selected nodes. in case you know Blender, after selecting vertices and pressing S to scale, their distance shortens/lengthens according to mouse movement. is there in inkscape any way of performing similar actions?
thanks for any answer, -Adam

Yes, you can use < and > from you keyboard ( Add Shift or Alt to alter it) Check it on : http://inkscape.org/doc/keys046.html
that's so great, you saved the day, thank you! :-)
any ideas about the Guide snapping?

Yes, that certainly is possible! What version of Inkscape are you using? Have you already tried the prerelease of our upcoming v0.47? Both the snapping mechanism and the guide handling have been improved on many points.

no, i am using 0.46 stable. when is the 0.47 scheduled for release? i am looking forward to this.
and correction: after inkscape's restart, snapping guides to object's bounding box indeed works; i am only unable to get the snapping to object's nodes working.
however, you sound very enthusiastically about the upcoming release, and since i use inkscape only for fun, i am waiting patiently for it :)
thanks for answers.
