 Henning has already described what he does, and it seems clear to me that
 alpha-thresholding all paint application would work well for his purposes.
 I'm sure he'll say if that is not the case.

It sounds like a good direction, but I'm not sure that it would also
be effective against an accidental application of, say, the smudge
tool, or ordinary paint tools that accidentally get used in
color-changing (rather than paint-applying) drawing modes.

Yes and yes.

The important things about indexed images is that they prevent me from

As for the good of alpha-thresholding, it prevents 'junk' colored pixels that often occur when quantizing quickly to a small palette (solid part of applied paint is colored okay, semitransparent part is colored strangely.. like a bright orange with a medium green) -- cloning a multicolored pattern onto such an image may give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
Junk colors are harmful both for mapping (as Henning described) and sprites (where the total amount of pixels is small enough that a single discolored pixel is a significant glitch, and makes it look even worse when palette-swapped)

Well, of course changing the define is not what you want because then

 I'm looking for normal supersampling which is subsequently

 The behaviour of the Ink tool without supersampling is unacceptably

It's not so much a need, as the tools would be much faster in indexed mode (eg 'shade' mode -- painting that cause pixels to change to the next brighter or darker color in the palette). Naturally palette searching would be needed for that in RGB mode, as opposed to running the indice through a 256-entry lookup table.
However, I suspect that simply having a 'indexize'* op just before the display op in the graph would probably work well enough (possibly better, even).*or 'quantize' -- whatever it would be called, where it receives RGB data and outputs quantized RGB data.

I wonder which version of GIMP that is, my version of GIMP is already
crippled when it comes to supporting indexed images. I'm not allowed
to create new images in indexed mode, I cannot set the opacity for a
layer, I cannot use the smudge or blur|sharpen tool, gaussian blur
doesn't work neither does unsharp mask, layer masks seems to work but
get their alpha thresholded. To do any real work on an indexed image I
already have to go by RGB.

Duplicating this behavior in GEGL would not be appropriate in my
opinion, if an indexed image is loaded, the lookup table of the
palette is interpreted and it is treated as a color image. Thus GEGL
will have the same stance towards GIF/PCX as JPG, RAW and SVG, they
might be included as source material verbatim, but expecting palette
preserved, DCT level compositing, non-demosaiced bayer-data or vectors
in the output,. after compositing and image processing, is quite
simply outside the reasonable scope for a image processing/compositing
library.

Adding capabilities outside GEGL that special cases editing of indexed
drawables is of course an option, (in the same manner that the path
tool or inkscape would be possible to invoke for operation on SVG
based vector data.

In most of the cases when people are asking for an indexed palette, the

image or by editing for a specific hardware or certain texture
conventions.

In that case you really could have a quantize op, that maps all colors
in the images to the appropriate colors in the palette. You'd have all
the power of semitransparent layers, all tools would work as expected
for a given definition of expected  :), blurring would work etc.

I am pretty positive that these problems could be sorted out when we

Having an implied conversion to RGB on input of indexed drawables is
the way GEGL will currently deal with such images.
Adding an op that converts this to 8bit/16bit/32bit integer grayscale
with a predefined, or optimally computed R,G,B palette is the natural
progression. That op could be used before saving/as a step towards
displaying data.

This allows implementations of all other processing and compositing
operations to be ignorant of indexed drawables, but is not an indexed
workflow, it will not work when multiple of the
original colors mapped to the same RGB triplet, but has a different
interpretation.

My concrete need is that I edit bitmaps with a specific color

use a system of ad-hoc software to convert the bitmap source to the
vector versions linked to below the image; this software depends on
the exact colormap in the picture, because different colors should be
vectorized in different ways.

[Before someone asks: yes, I have considered using a vector tool as
the master editing format, but I have not found one whose user
interface fits my way of working as well as Gimp does].

Now, when I edit in indexed mode I am sure that I don't accidentally
give a pixel a color that is off the expected one by a delta that is
too small for me to see. For example I sometimes accidentally select
the airbrush or pen tool and draw something. I may not notice this
until later, when it is too late to undo automatically, but at least
with the implicit quantization it is immediately clear to me which
pixels I need to repair manually. If I had worked in RGB mode I would
need to wonder whether I had accidentally airbrushed something from
255/255/255 to 252/252/252, which is impossible to see by eye.

Essentially, indexed mode helps me by making sure that what I see is
all I get. And does it *while* I edit: doing a separate quantization
step at the end of my work and then going over all of the image in
zoomed mode to look for glitches would be seriously bothersome.

Within the current gimp architecture you are asking for the job that
op would be performing to be done in a display filter, with a fixed
pallete (whilst working in RGB mode). This would cause all work being
done on the image to be displayed with the reduced palette. Thus allow
you to work non-indexed but see a reduced pallete result in
realtime.

No - I don't only want to _see_ a reduced-palette result; I want to
actually _get_ a reduced-palette result. With an action purely on the
display level, I cannot see or correct inaccuracies on the underlying
pixel data; I cannot be sure that when I use the colorpicker tool it
is the standard color that I see that gets picked up, etc.

Additionally, it _would_ be rather cool to have the pixel data in each
layer be quantized but still be able to select partial layer opacities
while editing.

e.g. at http://dk.trackmap.net/a.I use a system of ad-hoc software to convert the bitmap source to the vector versions linked to below the image; this software depends on
 the exact colormap in the picture, because different colors should be vectorized in different ways. This need could be solved using layer-masks and threshold. Or to attack the problem with an unstable dialect of xml:
I'm not sure I can see what you're getting at, but are you suggestingthat I use a seperate layer for each color? That would make any kindof editing extremely painful.When I saw it, I thought so too.
However, remember this is GEGL being discussed here. *GIMP* might well provide a way to back-propagate the result of an Op in the graph, which should take care of this okay.By back-propagate i mean, you draw on a layer, it get quantized before display -- and you can propagate that change back to the original layer.
It seems a highly desireable option to me, even for non-quantized images.(nor is GEGL in any way suited to implement back-propagation of the sort you described. It goes against its data model; Whereas this is suitable for GIMP to implement.)

Re: [Gimp-developer] Hard edged Ink tool?

Should be a simple change, just turn off supersampling in the ink code.

 I find the hard edged rendering used in INDEXED mode best for drawing
 lineart, but dislike the other constraints (no drawing
 modes/opacity/layer modes) imposed by working in INDEXED mode.

Eeek, the way it acts in INDEXED mode is so ugly. Why would you want to
do this? 

 So far, I've tried to find the part of the code that handles indexed
 images without success.

Why would you look for it? That's completely unrelated here. The ugly
behaviour in indexed mode is just a shortcoming of the code that
combines regions.
