Description Marcelo de Castro 2002-06-17 07:11:50 UTC 
When we want to resize, rotate or skew a layer we have two dialog 
boxes, one is the option tool and the other is the parameters box.. 
couldn't they be on the same box.. so we select the options and the 
parameters on the same box?

Thansk!

Comment 5 Milos Prudek 2004-07-28 12:41:48 UTC 
I wish there was a way to totally hide the crop dialog - of course, optionally.
Let the default behaviour remain as it is today. But I would like to have an
option to hide this dialog, ideally a permanent one in File/Preferences, or
one-time only like "hide the dialog when Ctrl is pressed", or both.

The reason for this request is that the dialog obstructs a portion of the image
and that makes it difficult to crop properly.
Comment 6 Sven Neumann 2004-10-22 15:34:06 UTC 
Bumping to Future. We've done a couple of changes to improve the situation.
Further changes will have to wait till after the 2.2 release.

Bumping to Future, since there don't seem to be issues relating to this that are blockers for 2.4.
Comment 10 Guillermo Espertino 2007-03-11 03:12:00 UTC 
I filled "416981 – Some obtrusive behaviour of transform tools" just before finding this bug. In case my request is closed I'd like to add some thoughts about  this issue.

------

I think there are some aspects of the transformation tools that should be
revisited. The transformation parameters windows always pop over the artwork,
forcing the user to reposition it before starting to transform the layer.
It would be better if these windows are part of the tool options panel, and let
the user to perform the transformations using the widgets on the artwork.

Another thing I find obtrusive is the presence of the original when
transforming. I wouldn't say to remove the original, because it's a visual aid
for the transforming process, but the original should be "grayed-out" (maybe
lowering its opacity to a low value) in order to avoid visual cluttering and
confusing shapes, mostly when the object to transform has solid fill.
