Because in its entirety my vision is an extensive change not only in brush selecting and editing compared to the current versions, but also in many aspects of the user interface (depending on how much of it would be implemented) and to explain it in detail it would require me some effort (maybe a few days) in both describing it in words (also because English is not my native language) and making graphic examples, which I have not prepared yet. If GIMP UI and brush development was going to another direction anyway, then there wouldn't be the need for such a detailed explanation, I think. Anyway, since I see that you seem interested I think I'll expand this idea. It will require me some time though. For now I can summarize it in a few points: - Make brush based tools as general as possible. Standard: Paint tool, eraser tool, clone/heal tool, tweak tool Advanced: Paint tool, clone/heal tool, tweak tool Extreme: Freehand/Geometric brush tool - Move most brush based tool settings in the brush settings window - Expand the brush settings window with more useful options - Leave the old tool selection concept to the new taggable brush selection window With a new generic brush system in most of the brush behavior is described by the brush settings, it's possible to leave the old tool selection concept to the new (and possibly even more improved) taggable brush presets window. This is similar somewhat in what happens in Corel Painter: there is only one "brush tool", and many different brush "presets" grouped under different "tags" (Eraser, pencils, watercolor, clone tools, tweaking tools, etc). The most used presets can be dragged in a user specified window. In GIMP they could be docked to the new, lighter tool bar (which would by default have many less tools because many sharing the same functionality/concept would be merged into one). Oh, I ended up being more detailed than I thought! I'd like to expand more this idea though. I hope now it's more clear what I have in mind anyway. -- SHIRAKAWA Akira _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
