Feedback received via private email and via Twitter. Seems positive so far...
I've merged the branch to master, with the following added features: * Options panel for the fiddly bits of various tools (including fill) * Flood Fill, with options: - Sample Merged - Fill to New Layer This fill uses the GIMP's flood fill threshold algorithm (a.k.a. Tolerance). It's more overprinty (for want of a better word) than the one I dreamt up early during development, more forgiving if you get the tolerance wrong, and gives nicer results when blending into other antialiased colours. To fill solid black antialiased inks from a transparent seed point, use a Tolerance of about 50%. I've had some feedback via Twitter saying that the Fill to New Layer option is too confusing in use and that users should just be expected to make a new layer, turn on Sample Merged, turn off irrelevant layers, and fill the new one. How would this fit into peoples' workflows? Is the option pointless? Suggestions for keypress shortcuts welcome. Ctrl+Shift+O and Ctrl+Shift+F felt nice to me, in developer mode.
