[Qgis-developer] Snapping tolerance

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Martin

 >I would like to change the behavior so that the "map units" in 
snapping config dialog would mean units in project's CRS

The renaming is fine, however I think it needs all 3 modes. Sometimes 
people digitise against a background TMS, but have a feature model in 
layer units in mind (e.g. if two parcels are less than 50cm away, 
consider the boundaries as identical).

Regards,
Marco
