Also, if you're suggesting something which would solve an overlapping, but not identical, problem, and would do so in a different way - just open a new bug and suggest the old one be closed. Changed the title back. > Rather than fiddling around with the ruler, a flexible solution would be to > not only define the base point regarding the object but also the page > itself. But the user doesn't want to do something complex like that. They want to move the object - without any special prior planning - and when they do that, they may reasonably expect to see where the center will end up. Changing objects' base points is an interesting meriting its own bug. (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #5) About helplines... * I don't think it's easier to implement center help-lines than to add a marker. Am I wrong? * For the two edges, we have both the ruler marking and help-lines if you enable them. The center point is a stronger candidate to get both of these, since, the edges are more easy to extrude into lines in your mind. * I'll open another bug about them :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
