I jut want the multiplication to stop. Why the heck do they multiply? You are allowed to tweak any brushes you have created as many times as you desire, just open the brush editor and tweak away. My personal setu kontains an open brush editor in the docks at all times. The only ones you cant tweak are the ones in system folder. If they bother you, you can just remove them. There's only one cotcha. The moment you close gimp the tweaked version replaces your original. This is part of a bigger issue with resource handling and I seriously hope we develop a plan for dealing with this soon.

On the other hand, when I was starting with GIMP somebody said that for a skilled person it would be 20 minutes of work so it might just be that its not done because nobody is working on it... > - make it possible to open SVG graphics as a bitmap image and scale the > image to the size you want (smart image sizing)? This a matter of vector layers I suspect. Another work in progress due to lack of people working on it. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
