Comment 17 for bug 170049

I have to agree with jimmac here... It's also very frustrating when working on a workflow that requires both Gimp and Inkscape, or websites as everything related to coordinates is not easily translated between.

For example in Maemo5 "Fremantle" (Nokia N900) theme work when we were developing the theme template, I had to always export the canvas as PNG, do a selection in Gimp and check out the coordinates there. I could have looked it up from Inkscape object properties toolbar if the y-coordinate wasnt flipped around compared to everything else.. :-/
