Proposed skeleton for implementing this (1.08 KB, patch)
2006-01-05 04:10 UTC, Joao S. O. Bueno 		rejected Details | Review

Description Reuben 2005-09-05 18:47:45 UTC 
1) Create two layers.
2) Link them.
3) Make a selection on one of the linked layers.
4) Apply a transform to the selction. (rotate for instace)

What happens: The transform is applied to the selection of the current layer
while the rest of the layer is untouched. However, the transform is applied to
the linked layer as a whole.

What should happen: The transform applied to the linked layer(s) should only
apply to the selected area as it does in the current layer.

Proposed skeleton for implementing this

I dig a bit on the code, and found the place were I think this could be
fixed.

Although I do not have the time now for the proper fix, I indicated what I think should be done in the patch. I hope this turns the work easier - if it is the right fix at all.

The patch here is to app/core/gimpitem.c 
Besides this file I looked into:
app/tools/transformtool.c
app/core/gimpitem-linked.c
Comment 2 Martin Nordholts 2008-03-29 20:57:44 UTC 
I've looked at the patch and IMO this is not the right approach. GimpItem is a base class and should not contain specific logic for and dependencies to derived classes.
