Comment 16 for bug 174046

Wouldn't it be possible to make snapping visual too?
I mean, to make it more consistent, the user could choose between visual mode or geometrical mode and then all settings would work according to bboxes or nodes. I know this could be confusing when changing stroke width but at least every aspect would work either visually or geometrical instead of some things using bboxes and other nodes depending on a lot different settings.
You could even put some sort of expert or advanced button to let experienced users make individual choices for differente settings like geometrical snapping and visual scaling but if the user goes this way they should be know what they're doing.
