Re: [Gimp-user] Replication Array Layer
It comes back to something taught in the Bible, which I've observed is correct in life: http://biblehub.com/kjv/proverbs/29-12.htm "If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked." Stallman is at the head of GNU and the FSF. Those who help build up his products, they are acquiescing to his views on things because you cannot divide a man in two. It's like a sermon I heard one time: "How many drops of gasoline would it take to ruin a 32 oz. ice cold soft drink?" Even if 99.99% of the soft drink were pure, that last little bit is what poisons all of it. The same is true with people. And Stallman's views extend to bestiality, child pornography, and other such things. He holds these views in his heart, and they affect all aspects of his life. GNU was a good idea, but it's run by someone who is not sane. The idea can be salvaged as it is more of a general fundamental concept, but it must sever all ties with GNU and Stallman in so doing. That's what I'm doing with LibSF, created as an alternative to FSF, and my Village Freedom Project, created as an alternative to GNU. Best regards, Rick C.

Re: [Gimp-user] Replication Array Layer
My goals are to change things around so they are focused upon positive things. I am doing this with LibSF and the tools I'm creating, but in general I want to encourage other people to do this as well with their projects. GIT is a bad name. It's insulting, hurtful, etc. It has no place being the name of such a powerful tool. GIMP is a non-professional name. I think Image Professional would be better. Or something that has a positive upbeat tone. I don't expect people to change. But it would be great. It would allow me to work on the project because it disassociates itself with Stallman.

Re: [Gimp-user] Replication Array Layer
Because GNU is associated with Richard Stallman and his unnatural views (believes pedophilia and necrophilia should be legal among other htings). Also, the name "GIMP" is not very professional as it's associated with the slang use of the word. It's along the same lines as "GIT," named that way on purpose by Linus. We just need to break away from GNU and create works which make a clean break from Stallman and those in the GNU camp, and proceed forward in a more positive way. Best regards, Rick C.

Re: [Gimp-user] Replication Array Layer
I'll have to look at it. It doesn't quite look like what I have in mind. I'm thinking there needs to be a new layer type created, which isn't just a regular layer, but is a modifier layer. That modifier layer can receive parameters where things from other layers can be linked into it, and then acted upon by operations, such as you link a rectangle from layer A, rotate it 90 degrees, decrease its scale by 30%, and move it to these X,Y coordinates. And then any time content from that rectangle in layer A changes, those changes are reflected in the modifier layer through the operations. In that way, modifier layers perform operations to derive content for display on their layer, or possibly to publish the content they modify onto another layer. It basically creates a worker layer that performs operations on content without actually baking them into the bits, but rather generating them from source bits through operations, and then using the generated portion, but in a way that by altering the operation stack, or changing the original source bit data, the changes push through to everywhere they are referenced. A whole set of features could be added to the modifier layer, not the least of which is the array modifier I mention. But every operation we have today could be added, and they could be performed in a stack upon that original content source from another layer, or from a selected portion from another layer.

[Gimp-user] Replication Array Layer
GIMP needs to add a feature which allows an area to be selected and copied into a new layer, and then that area is replicated onto other layers (or multiple times into another single layer), such that when changes are made to the originating layer, those changes are reflected everywhere. In Blender, this is known as an array modifier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mNUHOkKQcY GIMP needs a feature like this which can exist in modifier form, or be "baked" into the image with the modifier being applied.

[Gimp-user] Why does Export To require confirmation on certain files
I'm wondering what the thinking / logic was in requiring confirmation when exporting to a file that the original source image was loaded from? I can understand if I loaded a .xcf file, or .bmp file, and then later went to export it to a .png file, for example, asking for confirmation before overwrite. But, if I were to load a .png file, and then went to export it (and not "Export As..." to a new destination), but to write-out the original .png that was loaded, why does it ask for confirmation the first time? Why not just recognize it as an editing session and save it back out in the same format? If I load a .xcf file, and then press Ctrl+S after making changes, it doesn't ask for confirmation. Why does the "Export" feature require confirmation when writing back out to the original file it was loaded from? And why after writing out those changes to the original source file, and going to exit, does it ask me if I want to discard my changes? I am not discarding them. I just haven't saved them in the .xcf format, but I have saved them in the original format. It seems to be a conscious effort to make all non-.xcf file formats second or third class citizens in GIMP, and it came about when the Ctrl+S change was made to only work with .xcf files, and to push everything else to the Ctrl+E export area. What was the thinking / logic there? It causes a great deal of problems for users. It's also confusing because I get the message about unsaved changes, even after I've exported them out as .png files. It actually makes me cancel the close file operation, go out and export again, and then close file and discard changes. It's counter-productive and it causes people issues in using GIMP for non-.xcf file formats. Best regards, Rick C.

[Gimp-user] Ctrl+Shift+J Fit Image In Window
There should be an option available to set a margin for the Fit Image In Window auto-size. It would allow an N-pixel buffer around the image to make room for mouse actions to start before the edge and drag into the image. As it is now, it requires the edges which touch the border to start inside the image, followed by a second action to drag the side close to the edge all the way over to the edge.

[Gimp-user] Find and Replace
How about a feature where you select something, click Find and it selects all of the matching areas in the image. Click Find and Replace and it selects all of the matching areas where you can then de-select or select new areas if you want to, each of the size of the initial selection, and it brings up another GIMP editor window where you can replace the content in those areas with an edited image which can then be applied to each of the selected areas, with an option to do each in its own layer so you can apply different modes on it? I could've used this feature today. Best regards, Rick C.

Re: [Gimp-user] Change canvas size fill with option
(1) Create a new image of any size (200 x 200 for example). (2) Click the "+" by Advanced options, and note the "Fill with:" combo box / dropdown. (3) Click OK. (4) Go to Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel (if you didn't select it during (2)). (5) Go to Image -> Canvas Size. (6) Change it to 300 width and 300 height, and click "Center". (7) Select "All layers" under "Resize layers:" (8) Click "Resize". Note that there is a transparent border around the 200 x 200 center. It would be nice to have the same "Fill with:" option available in (2) under the "Advanced Options". Best regards, Rick C.

[Gimp-user] Change canvas size fill with option
I'm using GIMP 2.8.18. I thought a nice feature would be to add "Create a New Image" to resize canvas options (and specifically the "Fill with:" options -- background color, foreground color, white, transparency). Right now it forces transparency if you're using an alpha channel and you must paint. And if there are pixels at the edge of the new transparent area which fall within the threshold of the paint bucket, it spills over. Best regards, Rick C.
