Hey, let's have a look at the problem that started this thread:
> Juhana wants to get a color from some picture to paint on another.
There was an easy solution suggested by Jukka:
> In gimp 1.1 you can use 'ctrl' to temporarily change to colorpicker if you
> are using one of the painting tools (pencil, paintbrush, airbrush, etc)
So as this solves the initial problem a question arises:
Does anyone know of a situation other than these, where a changing tool is
important?
If yes, collect this situations and find existing or pragmatic or new and
innovative ideas!
And to discuss the 'active tool' pattern:
- what is it good for, if the tool changes -- but only the tool? You maybe
have to remake all the other settings (brush, colours, etc.)
- and if the whole context is fixed for a special image, you can't use the
active tool to solve the ppp (picture palette problem).
