Have you ever tried to make a project, but then Scratch's sprite editor says NOPE?

My proposal is two changes to the Scratch sprite editor:
1. Have ANY type of point in the Vector editor snap to the center.
2. When moving selected areas in the Bitmap editor, have it ALWAYS snap to the drawing grid so pixels are always aligned.

Arguments for Proposal #1:
When making text generators that are prevalent in many projects that display numbers, the ideal method is to have the center of the costume as the corner of the art. Example: See griffpatch's Youtube tutorial.
Furthermore, this would ensure sprites could be well aligned, eliminating the headache of having to carefully maneuver the selected area, and waste a lot of time.

Arguments for Proposal #2:
When I'm trying to make Bitmap art in Scratch, then feel like I want to move some pixels, I am rewarded with a headache. See, when I try to move a selected area and drop it somewhere, the pixels NEVER line up and I have to painstakingly align them. This means users have to go on a different pixel art website, make the art, then import it to Scratch. It takes extra time and pain.


These are my arguments for two changes to the Scratch sprite editor. If this post turns out to be a dupe (I accidentally did that before), please inform me and report this topic to be closed.

Thank you!

200% SUPPORT!!!!

It would be so useful to snap the edges and corners of objects at the center, and snap pixels to the pixel grid.

Amazing idea, I really hope this gets added!

good ieda

I'll do you one better: 500% support
Also, my support reason is the same one as above ^

Very much support, it's always so annoying when I try and move something in the bitmap editor and it completely blurs. The vector one would be useful too, but the bitmap one is more important (at least to me)

Please make separate topics for each suggestion.

Also, please rename this topic to “Costume Editor Updates”,
as “Sprite Editor” could imply lots of things. I hope ST gives this suggestion a shot!

How would I rename the topic?
