"Snap Tolerance" dialogue text needs to be updated

In trunk the "Snap Tolerance" dialogue (which you get if you don't click somewhere valid when using digitizing tools like the node tool, "delete part" and "delete ring") says this:

Could not snap segment.
Have you set the tolerance in Settings > Project Properties > General?

I think it should say:

Could not snap segment.
Have you set the tolerance in Settings > Snapping Options

It is a simple change that could improve usability as people are currently lead to a non-existing setting. The actual setting controlling this behavior is in "Settings > Options > Digitizing > Search radius for vertex edits".

• version was configured as master
• crashes_corrupts_data was configured as 0

Actually, I'm guessing it should say this:

Could not snap to segment. Have you set the tolerance in Settings > Snapping Options ?

Please read my earlier comment, the setting controlling the distance to snap to point when clicking is not in "Settings > Snapping Options", it is "Settings > Options > Digitizing > Search radius for vertex edits".

Forgive me. I thought that both the snap settings meant the same. I have updated with new patch.

An enhancement in this message window is a button to open the Snapping Options dialog directly.

Does this dialog even show up anymore. I can't get it to show up even when not clicking near a segment.

To use the node tool you (1) click on the object (or its border if it is a polygon), then (2) click on nodes or edges/line segments to drag them around.
Currently you get this dialog only if you miss the object in step (1). To be consistent either it should be shown whether you miss the object in (1) or (2), or it shouldn't be shown in both cases.
I guess some people would even want an option to choose whether or not it is shown...

Sorry, let me rewrite that:

Yes, it does show up still.

To use the node tool you (1) click on the object (or its border if it is a polygon), then (2) click on nodes or edges/line segments to drag them around.

Currently you get this dialog only if you miss the object in step (1). Maybe you were trying in step (2). Or perhaps you selected the option not to show it again.

To be consistent either it should be shown whether you miss the object in (1) or (2), or if you've selected the option not to show it again, then it shouldn't be shown in either case.
