Re: [Gimp-developer] Ctrl-Shift-clicking your way to a new layer mask
Can I bribe someone to commit/add this to trunk (even on a trial basis)? :) It's become a staple in my workflow. I have no doubt others will benefit greatly. I would very much miss it if it's not included in future releases. Thanks for your attention, and help in this matter, and let me know what bounty is desired for the work!

Re: [Gimp-developer] Ctrl-Shift-clicking your way to a new layer mask
After having used this feature for a few weeks now in production work, I find it saves a lot of clicks/time, and I'm happy to have it applied to trunk as-is. I think other professional workflows will benefit greatly from it in various ways. -C On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 3:08 PM, Ben wrote: > > >> Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 18:36:36 +0100 >> From: C R >> >> >> It's definitely faster, and more convenient.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Ctrl-Shift-clicking your way to a new layer mask
Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 18:36:36 +0100 From: C R It's definitely faster, and more convenient. I also like the fact that ctrl+shift+clicking a masked layer removes the mask. It makes a pain-free toggle, I can see myself using it a lot. The only thing I would add is that if there is a selection on the canvas, that the mask be made from that selection. More often than not I'm making a mask out of the current selection, so it would save me several hotkey presses after using the new ctrl+shift+click layer mask feature. Thanks for trying it out. You can also use ctrl-alt-click to bring up the dialog instead of the predefined value. Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 22:30:11 +0300 From: Alexandre Prokoudine Something I'm not sure about is that Ctrl+Shift+Click on the mask preview toggles visibility of the mask. I never used this shortcut on the mask before, so I'm not certain if it had existed before or if it has just been added as part of the patch. In other words: is it expected behavior? There was no such shortcut till the patch. Using it either adds or removes a layer mask (if it exists on the layer). Another thing is that another mask-related setting -- default quick mask color -- is on a different tab. Should they be on the same tab instead? I don't think so. Other than that, I'd be happy to see the patch applied. Thanks for trying it out. You can also use ctrl-alt-click to bring up the dialog instead of the predefined value.

I've just tried it, and I mostly like it. There's no single way of creating a mask for me, so 'Set mask from dialog' preference is what I'd probably use, so I appreciate configurability here. Something I'm not sure about is that Ctrl+Shift+Click on the mask preview toggles visibility of the mask. I never used this shortcut on the mask before, so I'm not certain if it had existed before or if it has just been added as part of the patch. In other words: is it expected behavior?
