Move tool should display relative coordinates in statusbar when moving guides
Last modified: 2016-10-01 20:48:20 UTC
When moving layers, selections, or paths using the move tool, delta coordinates (e.g. -100, 100) are shown in the Statusbar, to make repositioning more convenient. When moving guides, however, only absolute coordinates are shown. Since guides snap to the cursor, and cursor coordinates are already displayed in the bottom-left at all times, the use of absolute coordinates when moving guides is not only inconsistent (since in all other circumstances the move tool shows relative coordinates) but useless as well, since the absolute coordinate position of the guide is already visible in the status bar. A simple solution would be to switch the guide Statusbar message to relative coordinates.
Nice idea indeed.
