Not sure about GEGL previews, bu there is a new transform tool spec: http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/Transformation_tool_specification
To combine scale, shear and rotate into one tool. No mention of how previews are to be handled, however. -Rob A> On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 4:16 AM, Jeremy Nell <jeremyn...@gmail.com> wrote: > I must have missed that response. > > Thanks.
