Hello, I am experiencing an issue after installing the new version.
Snapping objects or groups to guides or grid is not working when moving a selection; when selecting and moving nodes, one or more, snapping works as usual.
Snap-to-objects does not work in any case.
Could it be a problem with my preferences or with the new version?
Thanks in advance

Re: Snapping issue after 0.48.4 update

Welcome to InkscapeForum!
Hhmmm, I was just snapping some guides object centers, and guides to guide intersection, and it worked fine. Aaaannd....yes, I snapped to guide intersections without a problem. But it's probably set for snapping nodes. I rarely have need to snap bounding boxes.
So that we can test under the exact conditions where you've found these issues, please tell us exactly the state of your snap control bar, and also please tell us how you have snapping set in Document Properties > Snap. Screenshots would be find, if you prefer

Edit
And also your operating system

Re: Snapping issue after 0.48.4 update
Thank you for the welcoming and fast answer; actually, I've been using Inkscape since 0.45 and from time to time I experienced some strange snap behavior, but I usually got around it by making a new file (especially when working on large file). Not this time! The only thing that changed was uninstalling 0.48 and installing 0.48.4, and preserving preferences.
Required info:
Document properties, snapping:
Object: Snap closer than 20
Grid: Always snap
Guides: snap closer than 20
Inkscape properties, snapping:
Snap indicator: on
Delay: 150 ms
Closer node thing: on
Weight factor: 0,5
Mouse pointer snap thing: off
Sorry, it is a very lame translation from Italian; is there any other dialog window I should check?
OS is Win7 home premium 64bit

Re: Snapping issue after 0.48.4 update
I guess I resolved it myself.
I just realized about the existence of the "snap bar".
I might have absent-mindedly touched and hidden hit
Thank you anyway!

Re: Snapping issue after 0.48.4 update
I have the same problem, but I'm unable to resolve it myself.
I re-installed Inkscape as well and snapping to the grid is now not working...
When I draw a circle, snapping is working. It snaps the cursos to the grid and when I click and drag to draw the circle, it snaps as well.
However, when I want to move the circle, it suddenly doesn't snap!
When I draw a line, the same thing. When drawing, snapping works. When moving the line afterwards, It doesn't snap to the grid. When I move individual nodes, snapping to the grid does work.
HELP!

Re: Snapping issue after 0.48.4 update
Hi.
As a circle consists of four nodes, you will need to have some of the snap to nodes, paths or handles enabled.
None of these are enabled in your snap settings.
Be aware that the snapping of circles will only happen at the nodes points (the four quadrants).
If you look closely at your snap bar you will see four horizontal bars, these separates the four major snap types, the first icon below the bar will tell you which snap types are in that section.
