There should be a function that allows to snap desktop shortcuts to other shortcuts like so

i agree 100%, been looking for an icon snap to grid option since day one!

Re: [Request] Desktop relative shortcut grid
 

exactly. I can't tell how much time I spent to align them :)

Re: [Request] Desktop relative shortcut grid
 

I would definitely like to see this as well. It is very difficult and time consuming to get everything aligned manually at present. The inner Monk in me is extremely annoyed!

There is a bug filed for this which is said to be fixed in the new firmware so if you update to PR1.1 you should have this.

My subjective impression is that there is indeed some snapping. It is rather subtle though, which is good imho.

Re: [Request] Desktop relative shortcut grid
 

strange. on mine (PR1.1) there is definitely no icon snapping at all.

Re: [Request] Desktop relative shortcut grid
 

same here. i cant see any icon snapping at all on the pr1.1 update

Re: [Request] Desktop relative shortcut grid
 

it was not fixed.. the bug has been reopened

Re: [Request] Desktop relative shortcut grid
 

With the new release there's a file to edit for snap to grid.

File /usr/share/hildon-desktop/transitions.ini has a line named snap_grid_size = 4 around line number 182. Edit the value bigger to have more notiacable effect of snapping. I have it on 8 currently and it works pretty well. Though still no snapping to same line as nearest objects, only makes it easier to put icons on same level.
