Summary0014345: add trim lines
Descriptionfollowing up the discussion in 0013421, i think it would be nice to have trim lines.

the default would be the size of the page, but one could define it to be smaller than the page when printing without bleeds.

if bleed, trim and page are the same, only one guide should be drawn.

by default, the bleed and trim guides should be shown on top of the content.
all other lines below it.
TagsNo tags attached.

The page area and bleed area being already clearly displayed, I do not understand the interest of this request.

Note also that the guide/margin/objects drawing order can be already defined in guide prefs.

i'm probably using the wrong name.

the idea is that one can define a "safety margin" when targeting home printers.

as an example, one should not put anything closer than 5 mm to the page border.

it's something like the inverse of the bleeds
(defining -5mm for the bleeds i guess would do that... but i don't think that it would be a sane way of doing it)

the page margin are normally not used for that purpose, but rather for defining where the main content goes.

concerning the order, i wonder if by default the bleeds should not be shown on top of the objects.

all the others are imo correctly set as below the objects.
