[Gimp-developer] crop isn't stopped at image borders
In GIMP 2.3.18 crop tool isn't stopped at image borders as it was in 2.3.14. It is a bug: if ratio is set it is violated by this. And even if no ratio is set crop should not affect pixels outside the image. -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Do you mean the ratio is not correctly applied if the cropping rectangle leaves the image borders, and only then? I disagree on the last sentence. While limiting crop to within the image borders is convenient in many cases, being able to freely change the canvas size for a layer or image is useful, too. I mean to recall it's in fact an option in the last stable release. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Do you mean the ratio is not correctly applied if the cropping rectangle leaves the image borders, and only then? There are different cases. 1. I use fixed ratio. If the crop window leaves image borders, the ratio is violated. 2. I use fixed crop window dimensions. When touching the edge of an image the mouse is still moving, the crop window isn't crossing the edge and the preset window size is violated. I disagree on the last sentence.

I mean to recall it's in fact an option in the last stable release. I would prefer to have this feature switchable with a checkbox (and I'll set it not to cross edges at least most of the time). I'll ground it. When one is processing images for further printing, cropping is framing. And the result _should_ have defined ratio. If one is moving crop window within an image, looking if it has crossed the borders and violated the resulting ratio is a waste of time and work. -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

There is _cropping_ and _cropping_and_changing_canvas_size_. Pure cropping means the result is taken within an image, not outside it.

Re: [Gimp-developer] crop isn't stopped at image borders
Alexander, I have read your concerns and can tell you that at the end GIMP will work as you like to. I would prefer to have this feature switchable with a checkbox the development of the tools is not finished. I have to move first here, updating the spec of this feature and filling in some holes, thus giving developers an easier time and encourage implementation. --ps principal user interaction architect man + machine interface works http://mmiworks.net/blog : on interaction architecture ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
