Description

In QGIS Master, to enable snapping when opening a new QGIS project and load layers, you must:

1) Open the Snapping Options (Settings -> Snapping Options)
2) Choose the Snapping mode "All layers" or "Advanced" and click OK, even without doing anything else.

Otherwise the snapping does not appear activated.

In 2.6.1 snapping is enabled by default, so it is a regression.

Note that
Settings -> Options -> Digitizing -> Snapping -> Default snap mode
is not "Off".

Tested in Windows (OSGeo4W 64bits) and Linux.

#1 Updated by Nathan Woodrow over 9 years ago

I can't confirm the having to change from Current Layer to Advanced. Just pressing OK is enough for me, but I can confirm the default settings not applying when loading a project.

Nope I was wrong. The default settings are being set for me here.

Hi Nathan,
That is true only for the "Current layer", right? But not for the other layers. Ie, starting editing a layer, snapping is activated by default only for this layer, but not for the others. In 2.6.1 snapping is enabled by default for all layers, if this option is selected in Settings -> Options -> Digitizing.
