Hello. Can the existing plugin system do the following? A color picker plugin would (1) receive events about the cursor location and (2) set the current color. If not, then we should think about how to change the plugin system.
The tools would need to draw graphics. They could simply create a new layer on top and draw the graphics on it. In preview mode, user would see the output image equipped with the tool layer and the original image (input image) would stay intact. The switch of displayed image would be done by the tool. One advantage of using a layer for the tool graphics would be that all views would display the tool graphics. E.g., I would see the selection tool graphics both in a wide view and in a zoomed view. What should all the views display, would require thinkering. If user wants to see the preview image both in the wide view and in the zoomed view, both views should be swapped. But this is actually easy. Each view should have a flag for what it should display (three choises). User could set the flag when he opens a new view.
