Summary0009052: "Hairline" is the default line width
DescriptionAs in the summary. Hairline should not be used as the default, because in many cases it can't be printed reliably. Better change it to 1 or 1.5 pt.

Hairline is ok for me. But scale should be 0,5 pt instead of 1 pt.

Sequence:

O pt, Hairline, 0,5 pt, 1 pt... (this way should be possible to changed by mouse wheel)
       
Hairline default

O pt is missing now (you must create new line style), hairline is the best for drawing pictures and their arrows

0pt and hairline are identical for most graphic libraries, postscript and pdf. If hairline is available, 0pt is unneeded. A line which should be invisible should simply have no color assigned.

O pt is better because I need correct operation with shapes. Sometimes happened that after alignment by Scribus and then applying some operation (object has hairline) "white" space is added or the final shape is knotty (it includes unwanted nodes). It's the reason why I would appreciate 0 pt.

I *repeat* : hairline is exactly the same as 0 point for almost everything graphic related around. When setting 0pt line width, graphics libraries (and postscript and pdf) produce hairlines if a stroke color is defined. So there is no distinction possible. A line which should not be visible must have no color assigned.
