When will the geometric/visual BB setting become consistent throughout the app?
Hi!
I just went through the 0.47 release notes in the hope that the bounding box handling should have gotten rid of its inconsistencies. Instead, I have to read things like the following:
> Only visual bounding box is affected; if you use geometric bounding box, you will notice no change in most cases. However, the Export bitmap dialog always uses the visual bounding box for selection of the export area; this means that you can now export a blurred object to bitmap without any clipping of the blur.
So I am getting visual bounding boxes for export, even when I explicitly choose geometric BB? Why can't this setting be handled in such a way that it affects ALL functions alike (unless there is an option to choose otherwise within the function dialog itself)? Most people who use Inkscape for technical drawings and CNC programming have to rely on precise coordinates for object manipulation as well as print and export.
I would appreciate if the BB behavior could be unified in the not-so-distant future.
Thanks,
Matthias
