I like the idea of shaped gradients being handled in the Blend Tool. If the length of the stroke determines the maximum distance from the selection boundary, it would provide a quick means of stroking the selection or creating shadows and highlights with interactive control of the thickness.
With regard to moving the blend stroke, I think that ALT+drag should be required, to be consistent with the behavior of the Vectors Tool. For further consistency with the Vectors Tool, CTRL-drag on the blend stroke should add a new stop and then repositioning all the stops while dragging. With no modifier key pressed while dragging along the blend stroke, no new stop should be created and the existing stops should repositioned based on the drag. Any mouse drags that are not on the blend stroke or its endpoints should result in the existing blend being committed and a new one commenced. However, a mouse click by itself that is not on the blend stroke or one of its endpoints should result in just the blend being committed. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
