Setting Center of newly drawn sprites is confusing

So after much debugging and testing and just before I was going to post a bug on X position, I realized I made the same mistake as in a previous bug I posting: where the problem was me (as usual) and not realizing my Sprites center was not in the middle of the drawing.

I finally realized that when I draw a sprite its “center” is the center of the canvas, even if I draw a circle that is not centered on the canvas. This is really confusing. I would think (at least when I first draw or import something) that its center should be the center of the drawing (x = (right -left) / 2, y = (top-bottom) / 2).

I think it would be nice just to have a separate button called “Auto-center” or something similar, which put the costume center in the center of the image.

Maybe this would be better.

+1 for auto-center button

Also for default auto-center when you first draw or import a new costume

This sounds like a perfect idea. It really shouldn't be too difficult to make, should it?

Addendumification:

When one or multiple objects are selected, their Geographical centers are used.
