Yes, you should, and yes, you can - it is a mailing list, so all you need is an email address and a web browser to go to: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list There is an alternative: Being on IRC can be even more helpful, especially if you need advice in real-time if you are trying to figure out how some code works *right now*. Most of the discussions alongside GIMP development actually happen on IRC, the server is irc.gimp.org and the channel is #gimp. Make sure you can join during European evenings and be prepared to stay for hours at a time. > There is a speed penalty so it might be as well to add an option to > Preferences > to allow the user to turn this feature off.

Well, this would be a whole new paradigm of behavior being introduced, so how something behaves right now is of lesser importance. > Whilst it may be helpful to modify the paint tools in this way my aim was to > modify the transform tools so that the preview appears in all views - thereby > adding to the usability of the Unified Transform tool. > > If someone could give me any pointers on how this might be achieved I would be > pleased to look further at it.

The changes you have done to make painting work across all views would be interesting to see. This is where attaching a patch to an enhancement request in Bugzilla is a good approach. -- Regards, Michael GPG: 96A8 B38A 728A 577D 724D 60E5 F855 53EC B36D 4CDD _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
