Distribute by number
Some designs will require pixel precision, it would be great if the current "Align & Distribute" can be enhanced to "Distribute" objects based on pixel spacing. In similar way to how InDesign's "Align & Distribute" panel works. This becomes useful when distributing objects that are not the same that need to be spaced out an even amount of pixels quickly and precise.
(Currently using Windows Beta Version: 0.6.8.6)
EDITED: I'd like to be able to enter a number while distributing to ensure that my items are X pixels apart.

We can put -ve and +ve both values in manual input so it can go both ways.

Hi! Right now when we apply "distribute horizontally or vertically", we can't adjust or change values of gap manually. It will help a lot, it will make distribution easy.
I have attached a pic which demonstrate how other software handles it. -

Yes the current distribute does distribute edges evenly based on pixel spacing. However it doesn't distribute them a specified "precise" pixel value that you can determine (ie: Like InDesign or Illustrator).
As an example if I have a few different items that I can't use the repeat grid for, and need to space them out evenly... say every 15pixels, it will take longer and more work, than just having that feature and doing it in one click.
