Summary0003538: "snap to..." options should be placed in guideline manager and in configuration
Descriptionthere should be some improvements for snapping:
1. "snap to..." options should be placed in guideline manager and in configuration (guidelines panel for both - scribus and document - config) not in menu only
2. "snap to baseline grid" for objects would be great help in positioning. option should be also placed on panel in scribus/document configuration (see 0002899)

While I agree with # 2, I don't see much sense in # 1. The way it is now, you can quickly enable or disable snapping. If you need it faster, you can assign a keyboard shortcut. From my personal experience I can tell that while working on a document, it is often necessary to switch snapping on and off. So why add this to the preferences when it can be done much faster?

i don't remember the last time, i was working without snapping to guides. my all apps that allow snapping are configured with default snapping on. it's my way of working (positioning with guidelines, measurements pallette, keyboard - to create precise layout), that's why i asked for it. now i have to remember to turn on snapping in scribus, and i'like to have possibility to configure scribus for my needs. adding options i asked for is not revolution, it's just config option (just few checkboxes in config window)

baseline snap: requested in 0002899

config options for snap settings: I agree that interface options like this should be able to have a global default setting for new docs. Some people will usually want it on, others off. I think the same applies to the preserve-aspect-ratio button in properties (as I requested in bug 0003052). This will make scribus more convenient for everyone, and for different circumstances. :)

Reminder sent to: louisdesjardins, plinnell

since there already is a RFE for 2 (base line snapping), only number 1 has remained. What do you think of it?

If users say they'd prefer it to have it this way, why not? Seems to make sense to me ... now.

i'm not sure that # 1 is needed.

imo, scribus should enable by default the snapping to the guides (i think it's already the case; in the past it was for sure not the case) and, i don't really see a need for turning them off on a per document or per settings basis.

if i understand correctly the original poster, this is what he wants: being able to get the guides turned on for all his new documents...

i mean: if you don't want your things to snap to guides, don't created guides :-)

Allowing what the original poster wants is ok to me. It’s only more convenient.

Guides (snapping or not) can be there for many reasons we don’t have to discuss.

I also like RFE # 2 "snap to baseline grid for objects". Snapping text is obvious, but surrounding objects, it’s just great!

Renamed ticket so it's more specific.
Also any responses concerning ref '2' (snap to baseline grid) should be made in 0002899
