[Gimp-developer] Canvas Size Margin
Hi! I often use Image: Canvas Size to add a margin. Recently mainly with mockups, where I want 12 px all around. Doing the calculations in my head isn't too difficult, but does eat time and makes me context switch. One solution would be allowing calculations in the entrie: 436+24 ... Typing +24 can be faster than erasing and typing 460. *2 is faster than switching to percent and 200. But that should be added on a GTK / per widget level, perhaps? Another solution would be having fields for the margins or differences. Would complicate the dialog, but could offer nice possibilities if one needs different margins left/right/top/bottom. -- 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

Now someone just needs to write the code. Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Now someone just needs to write the code. Hmmm, It looks like those values are set in a GtkSpinButton wrapped up in gimp_spin_button_new(). If that's the case, my guess is that the right solution is to either extend GtkSpinButton to include a little expression evaluator or, since there appears to be only the one instance of gtk_spin_button_new() in libgimpwidgets/gimpwidgets.c, create a new widget--maybe GtkEvaluatedSpinButton, or some such--that provides that capability. Might be fun to tinker with...
