I do in fact a lot of zooming when cropping or making rectangular selections, where I need both the 'big picture' and pixel precision. But how to make sure the window doesn't obstruct an area you need to see? > Another way to implement this would be to have the > magnification value in the > preferences, and instead of opening up a separate > window for the magnified view > you enlarge a circular region immediately surrounding > the cursor Could be problematic with rectangular selections. This leads me to a similar idea: Opening a second view (implemented since long) and enabling an option 'follow cursor', which would scroll the view following the cursor, as long as the cursor is on another view. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
