While this would better go to the gimp-user mailing
list, I'll go ahead and clear it up. You're using the
clone tool, as a clone tool. To use it as a pattern
copy tool, you'll need to double click on that tool
and set the option to use a pattern source. If you
instead want to use it as a clone tool, you have to
hold down Control the first time you click it to set
the source location.
Happy GIMPing,

I dont know who else to ask for gimp help, so I am
writing to this address.
When I want to paint/fil using a pattern, it wont
work. I choose the
pattern, and the tool I think is the right one, and
go and try and draw with
the said pattern on the picture, but it wont let me.
It shows the tool and a
circle with a diaganal line through it as a pointer.
Is there are right and
wrong way to try and draw using a pattern? Apart
from that gimp is perfect
and I love it. I have the windows version of it,
from moochers.com. Hope you
can help, because the help files that gimp comes
with (and the help at your
site) doesnt give me a a clue to what I am doing
wrong.
Thankyou,
