I'm not a member of the gimp-developer mailing list - perhaps I should join - can I join? There is a speed penalty so it might be as well to add an option to Preferences to allow the user to turn this feature off. But even then the behaviour of the views would not be consistent as the airbrush would (unless modified from its current behaviour) still update the additional views as it is used. Whilst it may be helpful to modify the paint tools in this way my aim was to modify the transform tools so that the preview appears in all views - thereby adding to the usability of the Unified Transform tool. If someone could give me any pointers on how this might be achieved I would be pleased to look further at it. I have only just started looking at the gimp sources and trying to build it on Windows (with some success but I still have a few things to sort out) so I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the program. I had assumed that there would be a single canvas for each image and that all of the views for the image were simply apertures on to this single canvas. So when the canvas had been altered it was simply a case of redisplaying the appropriate portions in the one or more views. Given the speed at which the image viewer I use can switch between two full screen images I was expecting that the generally smaller additional views would not take long to refresh. On a separate matter - when compiling/building gegl and gimp there are numerous warnings displayed (some of these are, I think, only output when building on/for Windows). I could work at eliminating these warnings to allow a clean build if such changes would be welcome. Any warnings that then appear as the result of future changes will then stand out and can be addressed or suppressed as appropriate. -- programmer_ceds (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
