Re: [Gimp-developer] Point-and-click tool to create guides?

I only wish the free select tool had a toggle option for drawing guides
(horizontal, vertical diagonal) more like how the free select operates
could be better.

Right!

Even ore because clicking the spot line (layer boundary, one-pixel wide
line) is a bit difficult - but maybe it's just me.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Point-and-click tool to create guides?

2016-05-09 Thread C R 
What would be nice is a manual entry box for moving the measure tool
markers around (in the Tool Options for measure). This way you could type
in the exact value(s) you want, and use ctrl-click and alt-click to make
your markers how you like with better precision than the mouse pointer
allows.

Just a thought.

This is also sub-function of the measure tool.
To create a horizontal guide, place a marker on the spot, and ctrl-click it
To create a vertical guide, place a marker on the spot and alt-click it

Just to make sure I get it right...

Instead of

1. Hovering your mouse pointer over the ruler.
2. Clicking, dragging, and releasing the mouse button to create a new guide.

...you want

1. Hover your mouse pointer over the toolbox above the
'point-and-click tool' and click it.
2. Go to the location where you want a guide and use a modifier to
create either vertical or horizontal (or both) guides.

Unless I'm terribly mistaken, that's about the same amount of step in
comparison to something that has been around for years :) You you get
guide position preview too.

Hmmm? :)
