Re: [Gimp-developer] Bucket fill, Fill with foreground and gradient
Hi, Branko Collin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The Magic Wand is not the only way to make a selection. I agree it sounds logical that one would want to stroke or fill a wand selection completely, but I can think of uses for a threshold fill with a rectangular or elliptical selection. you can intersect a magic wand selection with an existing selection by pressing Ctrl-Shift. BTW, I checked out how my GIMP (Win32) deals with changing the content of dialogs: when having two image windows open plus the layers dialog (Layers, Channels Paths), and then switch between image windows, the contents of the latter does not change until I click in the new image window. Would it be possible to make it so that the contents of such dialogs change when you only activate the new image window? Or is this just a Windows GTK+ thing? The active image is only switched if you perform an action in the image. Pressing Space counts as an action here. This behaviour is intentional and was discussed here before.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Bucket fill, Fill with foreground and gradient
If you guys decide to program a Bucket Fill function that always fills the whole selection, then the interface should mirror this: once a user has made a selection and then doubleclicks on the Bucket Fill icon to conjure up the Bucket Fill dialog, the threshold should be put to maximum (255) and grayed out. Thats only accurate for the one image though :( I consider it to be a bug that there is a discrepancy between what the program interface (in the shape of the Bucket Fill dialog) tells me and what the program actually does. In a case for more than one mode of image and only one tool, this will unfortunately always be the case. Second, I feel that (in the light of User Interface rule #1 that says Rules were made to be broken. Users often don't know whats best - they just know if something is easy to use. It takes lots of thought and planning to make that happen. We shouldn't be afraid of offending users by making changes - just be sure we're moving in the right direction. Seth __ Do You Yahoo!?

In a case for more than one mode of image and only one tool, this will unfortunately always be the case. Still, in a sequence of actions as I described (select -- Bucket Fill dialog -- bucket fill) visual feedback will at least give me a hint that something special is going on. A better thing might be putting something in a (the) status bar of the image window, but I do not want to propose cluttering up that window.

However, if no-one can fill in the unless, the rule applies. -- branko collin [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
