I actually use invisible guides quite a lot - especially when designing things like website layouts - I want to snap to the layout's rectangles after I drew them, but I don't won't them to clutter my view (especially since in some situations you can have quite a lot of guides) There are many more cases in which invisible magnetic guides can be useful - usually these situations involve many guides where it's visible directly on the drawing itself where the lines are. The fact that snapping and visibility are independent is very useful, and I do wish to keep it this way. If the two clicks really bother some people, I suggest assigning a short-cut key to both features to do this quickly. But, Since I agree it can be confusing, I suggest that when hiding guides which are still magnetic, a message will be displayed in the status-bar at the bottom of the image saying something like "Note that the guides are hidden but still used for snapping". ~LightningIsMyName _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
