Description gsr.bugs 2001-12-07 02:51:02 UTC 
It would be nice to be able to set a minimum value in the Preferences.
The purpose is to be able to start painting outside the layers, even
if zoomed in a lot. Currently you can only do that when the window
is bigger than the visible image (image small or zoomed out).

I found the new colour button nice, and being able to set the minimum
visible area would make that are even better. Thanks in advance.

I would find that very useful indeed.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2005-07-26 14:40:53 UTC 
This would be useful and should be rather simple to implement. Not sure if
having this in the prefs is a good idea or if it should be a per-view setting
instead.

Comment 5 dudo 2006-01-28 22:22:25 UTC 
This looks like the feature I'd liked to introduce - to have the image window padded from an opened image (e.g. it wouldn't enclose the opened image tightly).

I am scaling the image window for this to be as good as every time and other users I know too :).

This would be a great feature and I am for this feature too.
Comment 6 Sven Neumann 2006-04-25 10:38:48 UTC 
This should be relatively simple to implement. The minimum padding could become a member of GimpDisplayConfig (as found in app/config) and would be used in the GimpDisplayShell (as found in app/display).
Comment 7 Sven Neumann 2006-11-27 10:17:37 UTC 
I would suggest that this report is closed in favor of bug #362915.
Comment 8 Jakub Steiner 2006-11-27 12:49:52 UTC 
Avoiding another preference setting would be great. If you can figure out the scrollbars, I'd much more prefer not having to deal with a margin setting and just be allowed to pan outside the image.

Two thumbs up for going with #362915
