Grumble.. I made the script, but just as I was testing it, I realized the rectangular selection cannot be larger than the image size to begin with. SO the interface I had imagined is not pratical.
The thing I had thought is a small script that would just double a image's canvas size, without hasle - sou you can bind a shortcut to it, tehn make the selection, and press a secont short-cut key to this script. But I no longer have time now to deal with it - I will do later. Regards, JS -><- On Thursday 12 January 2006 05:31 am, Arnd Baecker wrote: > On Thu, 12 Jan 2006, Joao S. O.
