Hi,
first of all thank you for your efforts and the posting.
In general I like the ideas.

Are you perhaps looking for the Bucket Fill Tool's fill type

Absolutely. In a non-destructive workflow users should be able to
tweak gradients at any time.
Personally, I think that this tool should also have Inkscape-li

A word of warning: this is going to be the next save/export
controversy. Designers are quite anal (pardon my Kl

I would rather keep the line, but make it draggable. The first
thing I found missing when trying the new tool was a way to
move both control po

Yes . I indeed was thinking about the gradient editor - just later I
realized it was the
actual application of the gradient on Canvas.

I like the idea of shaped gradients being handled in the Blend Tool. If the
length of the stroke determines the maximum distance from the selection
boundary, it would provide a quick means of stroking the selection or creating
shadows and highlights with interactive control of the thickness.

Once you have a nice clean black-to-white linear fill you
can always use the Levels or Curves (or a gradient map) on it to achieve
whatever you want.
How would you bend and distort
