Re: [Gimp-developer] Feature Request for 1.3

Thanks ;) I wanted to take this oppertunity, early in the devel work on 1.3 to restate an old nagging feature request of mine: The only feature I miss when I use GIMP is that of Photoshop's brush cursors. In Photoshop, when you choose a 12pixel brush, your cursor becomes a 12pixel sphere (or whatever shape of the brush) to illistrate where your paint is going to drop. This is, IMHO, a very very useful image editing tool. I'd requested this type of ability in the 1.1 and 1.2 development stage but was asked to wait for 1.3. I do alot of image cleanup and when editing an image border (say, painting out a background) its really helpful to know exactly which pixels are going to be changed. This has been requested several times, has been an issue on irc and everybody seems to agree that we want this feature. Why don't you go ahead and add it as an enhancment bug to http://bugzilla.gnome.org with 1.4 as target milestone? Just to make sure it won't get lost... ciao, --Mitch ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

There is already a bug report about this feature, so there is no need to submit a new one: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32498 Its current title is Pointer should reflect toolsize and it already has the target milestone 1.3.x. I am going change the title of this bug report so that it includes at least the word brush (easier to find). Thanks, I searched bugzilla because I was sure it was there but didn't find it ... :) --M ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

It's a pain not knowing where your brush will land - ESPECIALLY because when the image is zoomed in or out, the brush size can be much larger or smaller than you expect. If you say 'gimp *.png' and have a bunch of images - some larger than the screen - some smaller, they can each have a different image resolution - so you tend to pick a brush suitable for a very high res image - then move over to a lower res image and discover that now you are painting with something *much* larger than you expect with very little visual cues as to what's going on. Of course, this isn't necessarily an easy feature to implement. It's not as simple as setting the X cursor to the right thing because when you are zoomed right in and painting with a huge brush, you can end up with a cursor that covers half the screen! What might be interesting would be a 'preview cursor' that shows you what the pixels would look like *if* you clicked the mouse button right then. Thanx for any consideration. Indeed.

For X11, using the ordinary cursor up the maximum size is obvious; whether then to use a masked pixmap or chain of line segments is a matter of benchmarking under different circumstances (remote vs local X server, different server cleverness etc). For instance, a masked pixmap requires little bandwidth once it has been transferred to the server, but might be slow if the server handles sparse masked blits in a bad way. Line segments need more bandwidth per mouse motion but are potentially cheaper to render. Implementing either is not hard, but I (being primarily an Xlib programmer) don't know how if gdk/gtk have the necessary primitives ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
