When a mouse is in use, changing brush sizes without leaving the canvas is a snap - IF you set it up. The menu item for this is at Edit > Preferences > Input Controllers. Picture worth thousand words: http://pilobilus.net/img/mouse-scale-brush.jpg I think this behavior, or something equivalent, should be a default GIMP setting; until then, setting it up as an optional user tweak is not a problem IF one knows it's available. To change the brush size during tablet use, it should be possible to set up any unassigned keyboard shortcut to do the same thing in whatever size steps suit the user's needs. Caveat: I have not done this myself so I am only "presuming" it's an available option. As to whether the whole GIMP UI sucks, yes. Yes it does. I think that's more because it's an image editor, than because of any specific shortcomings in design. In theory, improvement is always possible. In practice, computers are inherently evil and all programs suck, each in its own special ways. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
