foobarrycan i get inkscape to show guides while moving an obecjt around? i want to align them08:06
ali1234you mean only when moving an object around?08:07
foobarryyes ali123408:07
ali1234i don't think so08:07
ali1234you could just learn the keyboard shortcut for show/hide guides08:07
foobarryewww. thats kind of basic08:07
ali1234what exactly do you mean by guides?08:08
foobarrylike when i'm using pencil app or visio, when i drag something08:08
foobarryhoriz/vert dotted lines show me if i'm lined up with other objects08:08
ali1234no it's still not clear08:09
ali1234do you mean the blue lines that you drag out from the ruler?08:09
foobarrynot permanent lines, but ones that appear during dragging/moving only08:10
ali1234okay i know what you mean08:10
foobarryso i know i'm putting the object in line with another08:10
foobarryotherwise i can't tell when i'm lined up08:10
ali1234well firstly, use align and distribute08:11
ali1234i think what you are asking for is called smart guides08:13
foobarryah ok, do u know if they exist in inkscape?08:13
ali1234they don't08:14
foobarrysurprising08:14

foobarry"it's currently asleep while I work on the inkscape website and various other things"08:22
ali1234ah hang on08:28
ali1234you can do some basic stuff08:29
ali1234like you can snap to object centres08:29
foobarryi've learned to use the align and distribute, but its labourious08:37
foobarryits only for one poster i'm doing, so no biggie08:37

daftykinsdid anyone got their Amazon UK password changed recently? i just this second got an email that mine had21:52
daftykins"At Amazon we take your security and privacy very seriously. As part of our routine monitoring, we discovered a list of email address and password sets posted online. While the list was not Amazon-related, we know that many customers reuse their passwords on several websites."21:52
daftykinsah their online support chat tell me it was based on having had the same password for a long period of time and not having been discovered online o022:01
