Its important to remember that in blender you can only have ONE project file open at any given time and all these tiles display different aspects of that same project. Not so in gimp.

How a bout using a modifier to span the split. Basically, when you start the split you can control the position by dragging and only the current pane, the one that you started to split is split, but if during split, before commiting by releasing the mouse button shift is pressed, the split is made to span the whole screen. This will mean that 9-square split will take total of 4 splits, two of those modified. > and how does blender define the current canvas one is working on? > I would expect the load of inspectors on the right and bottom of > the screen to track the current canvas. Actually, the current one is the one that has your mouse cursor and that's the only bit of info you need. It works surprisingly well for blender and its specifics, but I think it would be quite had to make it work for gimp because in a piece of pixel art, I want my mouse off canvas unless I'm actually using it. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
