GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 353440
Move Tool Option
Last modified: 2006-08-30 15:36:00 UTC
Please describe the problem: Preferences > Tool Options > Move Tool > Change current layer or path This setting is not working. Stays in pick mode. Shift modifier works though... Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Please note that this setting is not meant to be the same as holding the shift key pressed. It changes a much more subtle behavior: whether when using the move tool, without the shift key, does change the active layer to the one moved. Otherwise the previous active layer selected. For it to behave always with the "move current layer" mode, you can use the tool option on the options dialog. Thank you for the inout - I am setting it to "needinfo" just in case it is truly not working (I am with no access to a CVS gimp right now) - in that case, you should clarify your report. Otherwise, please check if the behavior described here can be inferred from the tool tip for this preference option. If it can't, re-open this bug with a nice tooltip suggestion, please.
Thanks for explaining that option. It does work as you describe. I would recommend changing the label on the checkbox, the tooltip, and possibly the tool option radio button... Maybe something like: Preferences Label: "Set edited layer or path as active" or "Select layer or path" (selecting is basically what this option does) Preferences Tooltip: "If enabled, the move tool sets the edited layer or path as active. This used to be the default behavior in older versions." - When I read the tooltip as it is now, I think it means that the tool edits my current active layer that I have selected... Tool Options Radio Button: I would replace the word "current" with "active" or "selected" - All layers are current, but there is only one active or selected layer... Thanks...
Thanks a lot. String review is always very much appreciated as a lot of the texts are authored by developers, most of them not even native speakers. 2006-08-30 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * app/config/gimprc-blurbs.h * app/dialogs/preferences-dialog.c * app/tools/gimpmoveoptions.c: string changes as suggested in bug #353440.
