Comment 19 for bug 481506

Hi,

I am much more comfortable with git, it's a great news.

I am back working on these changes and I should be able to provide patches (either for you to apply with git-am or via a pull-request) in the next few days.

I'll start with the control points to spirals and rectangles (I already have the code), and I will also try to improve the tooltips of all the center control points I added previously, suggestions from native English speakers are appreciated.

For example, how can the description for center of ellipses be improved?

    ...
    entity_center->create(desktop, item, this, Inkscape::CTRL_TYPE_POINT,
                          _("Move the ellipse"),
                          SP_KNOT_SHAPE_CROSS);

After that I plan to give it a go to adding a "translation" center control point to the general selection tool as well, It will be the center of the bounding box.

Not sure if the latter is 0.92.x material tho, the code changes are a little more intrusive.

See you soon,
   Antonio
