Canvas borders are magnetic, but layer borders aren't (yet).

Snapping options are in the lower half of the View menu.

New feature? Since when?
I have 2.6.7 here.

Can it be disabled?

As primary object I have the choice to select:
 - picture
 - selection
 - active layer
 - active channel
 - active patth

There is no "active guide", as all guides are active at the same time,
so I never heard of that. And there is no option "guides" at all.

So I can't center an object around a guide.
(Or did I miss some hidden behaviour of the tool?)


But you are right for the other way around: a guide can be postioned
relative to the other objects.

That's actually supposed to be supported already.  You should be able to use
a guide
with the alignment tool exactly as though it is an infinitely long layer of
zero width.  I
don't have a working gimp at the moment though, so I can't check.  My memory
is that
it used to work.

My recollection is that layer border are already magnetic, too.

You can already create guides from selection. So maybe just another script
in "Image > Guides" submenu?

[Gimp-developer] Alignment-Tool && Guides

2010-08-22 Thread oliver
Hello,


I just did some picture editing and thought that it would be good to have the
possibility to allow guides and alignment tool to work together.

For example it would be helpful to have the possibility of
aligning guides to the center or border of a layer.

Also nice would be to have the possibility to have layer borders to be magnetic
(of course not as default), or something like "Guides from Layer borders".

What do you think?

   Oliver
