GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 138101
Pointer (Information) tab should display selection bounds
Last modified: 2008-11-10 18:44:12 UTC
It would be nice to have selection bounds info in the info palette, and/or the statusbar. This would basically be the same as the script-fu: (gimp-selection-bounds <img num>) The selection information would only be updated when the selection changes if performance is a problem. What the selection info box would show is: * selection top-left XY-coords * selection bottom-right XY-coords * selection width and height The reason for having both the full coordinates and w/h is to avoid doing math the slow way in wetware :)
Closing as duplicate of bug #86276 and pasting this one as comment there. We don't need to track info dialog enhancments using multiple bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86276 ***
Reopening because bug #86276 is now closed and the selection size is the only issue remaining. This information should however not go into the Info dialog but to the Cursors tab.
*** Bug 435740 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The Cursors tab (dialog) now goes under the name Pointer tab (dialog), right? I don't see the logic in putting the information about the selection mask there, mind to elaborate?
It's what another well-known application does, so users expect it there. And actually, I can't think of a better place.
Well this should be easy to add, I'll try to do it for 2.8.
Added to trunk, rev 27603: 2008-11-10 Martin Nordholts <martinn@svn.gnome.org> Bug 138101 – Pointer (Information) tab should display selection bounds * app/display/gimpcursorview.c: Show the position and size of the bounding box of the selection in the active image using the unit of the active image window. (gimp_cursor_view_format_as_unit): Don't add the unit abbreviation if the unit is px.
