Comment 3 for bug 232088

@~suv:

Plus one on making it useful. It's a vast improvement over the other interface.

There is still one glaring issue - the tension on the snap isn't clearly controllable. Is this subject to the standard snap rules? Should it be (my guess is not)?

I say this because most of the 'arts and crafts' era styled etchwork is _densely_ complex, involving thousands of strokes. This would mean a workflow where you can craft many strokes with fluidity. As it currently stands, smaller etch lines will snap off and create a blemish on your work.

Improving snapping or providing the ability to 'lock' to the etch object (preventing snapping off, undo, redo repetition) might greatly help in this regard. The ability to remain 'locked' to an object by holding that control key down is a bit of a requirement. An easy way to demonstrate this is by doing smaller closely constrained strokes at a great speed.

There are also a few crash bugs that, given time, I'll try to backtrace for the Inkscape team.
