Comment 46 for bug 170049

Longtime Inkscape user, very much love the app and will use and recommend it for many years to come, but the fact that this bug has been filed 9 years ago, is prioritized "High" and still not fixed makes me chuckle a bit.

Like many others, I need to be able to write off x/y origins in images into stylesheets, and it's unnerving having to fire up python and convert each y coordinate via document_height - y. If you guys can't fix it at the XML level, please just give me an alternate mode for the lower right X/Y coordinates for a start, that would already help sooo much.

Don't try to get the holy grail, have a heart and live with a hack for a while, will ya? :)
