Yes to all above. I am very familiar with all the modifiers. If I hover my mouse above a certain segments holding Control, some segments will allow to add a node, while other segments won't. This also effects deleting line segments. Now that I think about it I have the last instance on video from a tutorial I made. It's kinda perfect since I have it showing my key-presses as well. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93550827/Gimp%20Tutorial%20Series/he-is-my-master_full.mkv 6:35 to around 8:30 is the problem. I also realized that this also was a copied and pasted path. >> 2. Node selection precision. > > No idea about that one. I don't think I've seen that.

Stroke line mostly unless I'm after some sort of effect. Playing with the mitre setting does have some effect on the problem. Maybe I just can't get the expected results I want in having an even stroke all the way around. Have a look at this and maybe you can explain if there is another way. For now I have just been patching some paths together to get what I need.. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93550827/temp/path-stroke_mitre.mkv -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Path-Tool-Problems-tp40365p40396.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
