Linked is not like the locking options, so it should be kept separated. A dropdown menu is expected to disappear on clicking an entry, so changing several options would make for a click orgy. Color and Geometry lock are no way as important as linking. The fact your targets only appear after an initial action slows you down. Icons/Checkboxes above the list might be faster to handle, because you see them right away. > If either of these get checked, an apropriate icon (which could be > always the same) would displayed in that place. It's usualy difficult enough to convey a single action or state with an icon, but trying to combine 4 aspects with all possible combinations? The only possibility I see are 4 mini icons in the space of one, most likely making for a nice pixel salad. I'm all for icons above the list. --- Thorsten Wilms _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
