I'm an #engineer, not an #artist. But every so often, I need to use graphics-related tools for something I'm working on. Today's example was trying to lay out some control panel #graphics, and I was using #Inkscape on #Debian.

What I did: created a circular object

What I wanted to do: when I select that object and type values into the #coordinates boxes, the circular object moves so that its *center* is at the specified coordinates.

What Inkscape actually does: moves the object so the top-left corner of the object's bounding box is at those coordinates.

Really not helpful when you want to #align multiple objects to the same #center.

Do some searching, find #forum posts of others asking how to do this exact thing. Answers range from "select the object and open the #XML editor..." to "do this specific thing which doesn't appear to have existed in the UI for a decade", to people suggesting workarounds (you need a #workaround for what must be an *extremely* common workflow?).

One workaround: "just create a #guide, move (or maybe it was 'align') the object's something-or-other to the guide". The word "guide" does not occur in the UI, FAQ or in the basic documentation for Inkscape. Searching for it is troublesome because of all the web pages that have "guide" in their *title* rather than their content.

Lots of other discussions with links to pages on the Inkscape site which are now 404.

Where's that "FFFFUUUUUUUU..." meme when I need it?

The vessel with the mirrored sides and photovoltaic sails negotiated the solar winds with ease. The captain was experienced, had weathered storms across the electromagnetic spectrum, gravitational ones to boot. "#Align the instruments and begin the deep chant, crew! In two Earth days we'll be gliding into port above# Mercury."

Everyone joined in the deep chant except Molly, who hummed "In the arms of the solar flare," a popular Mercurian folksong.
