[Gimp-developer] New option for the fill tool (feature suggestion/request)
Sorry, I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know how to do this myself but I'd like to suggest a new feature for the fill tool. How about an option to use the cursor position as a start point for tiling fill-patterns rather than the top left corner of the layer? Perhaps this could be greyed-out when fill mode is set to colours rather than patterns. I still want the whole layer/selection filled, but wherever the cursor is when I click it is where the top-left pixel of the filling pattern should be aligned to. I'd find this useful sometimes, would anyone else? _ Share life as it happens with the new Windows Live.Download today it's FREE! http://www.windowslive.com/share.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_Wave2_sharelife_112007 ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi Shin, I'd hardly find this useful but for some very specific patterns. Instead, I'd suggest you tried using layers and layer masks in your workflow, more or less like this: once you select the area to be filled, create an empty layer, create a layer mask on it, choose from selection (and empty your selection afterwards) There you are - you now fill the whole layer with your pattern and transform it however you like, with translation (not move tool), scaling, rotation, etc... js -- On Thursday 22 November 2007 02:14:56 pm Shin Diggar wrote: Sorry, I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know how to do this myself but I'd like to suggest a new feature for the fill tool.

I'd find this useful sometimes, would anyone else? That sounds like a sane idea to me, but it's a sad to add another tool option for this. Would be great if you could figure out a way to add support for this without adding another tool option. You could try turning to gui.gimp.org for input.
