Re: Suggestion to toolbar buttons placement

There's 25 buttons on the Gimp Toolbar and sometime, it's not easy to find the good one in all these buttons. Why don't you use the select-your-own-key-to-the-buttons-you-like function? Working with the keyboard instead of chosing each tool by hand(mouse) is a great time-saver anyway. (Just popup the menu, hold the pointer over the function you want to change keybinding for and then press the key you'd like to use in the future). I rarely touch the tool-panel anymore after modifying gimp to work just like the old photoshop keybindings, which i'm used to. just a tip. maybe unneccessary. maybe helpful. who knows. what I'D want is gimp to show the selection-size all the time and not just while selecting something, i hate to reselect everything to see how big something is (there might be a solution for this, please help me! =) __ tobbe|www.phatsidedesign.com

One of the features I sorely miss from photoshop was the "Info" window. In addition to showing the sizes of selections it gives you the RGB value of whatever is under the cursor. It even shows before/after values when making adjustments and corrections. Screenshot: http://www.obscurasite.com/images/screengrabs/info-hist.jpg In Gimp you can get the RGB values with the eyedropper tool but it goes away when you select another tool. It would be nice to have it around all the time and even better if it did before/after values so we can make more precise color corrections. Also note down in the corner the "history" / "actions" window. We have multiple undo and redo but is there something history and actions has in addition? (I started using Gimp before photoshop had that history stuff ;-) It might be cool to have a "progressive undo / redo" so you can partially back out of something. The workaround I use for this now is to duplicate one or more layers, do something like a color correction or filter, then adjust transparency to blend the modified layer with the original. Having a "procedural undo" would be able to accomplish this without the additional step of creating a layer. (heh... I'm lazy) Thanks in advance for your consideration. (and I know we are in a "freeze" so I don't expect to see any new features any time soon) -- Jon Winters http://www.obscurasite.com/ "Everybody loves the GIMP!" http://www.gimp.org/

Maybe that is what you want (1.1.26 at least). Well, that plus extra functions (selection size). GSR
