Description Raphaël Quinet 2001-05-28 13:06:28 UTC 
The path editing tool should have an option to change the color that
is used for drawing the paths.  Sometimes the paths are hard to see
over a black and white image.

Reassigning to current CVS because it's a wishlist item.
Comment 2 Michael Natterer 2002-02-22 15:00:45 UTC 
This is not only a paths tool problem. All tools which draw on
the display suffer from the problem that XORing medium grey
results in medium grey again, which renders the whole drawing
stuff useless for some images.

We will have to solve this problem for 1.4 IMHO...
Comment 3 Dave Neary 2003-10-21 11:46:31 UTC 
This isn't a blocker for pre-releases. Can be addressed for 2.2.

Dave.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2004-09-16 18:35:54 UTC 
Bumping off the 2.2 milestone since I don't see anyone working on a replacement
for XOR drawing. We will probably wait for Cairo to arrive.
Comment 5 Sven Neumann 2008-05-11 12:04:54 UTC 
GIMP is now doing some Cairo drawing. However the port of the tool drawing to Cairo is not going to make it into GIMP 2.6. Bumping to the 2.8 milestone.
Comment 6 Martin Nordholts 2010-01-15 19:12:06 UTC 
According to the current estimates we will not have time to implement this for 2.8. Postponing to 2.10.

*** Bug 629340 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 8 Martin Nordholts 2010-09-23 17:38:17 UTC 
Free Select Tool already drawn with cairo, might as well finish the work for 2.8 IMHO. Putting back on 2.8 milestone.
Comment 9 Michael Natterer 2010-09-26 21:47:02 UTC 
Better late than never, all tools do cairo now. Closing as FIXED.
