Description Adrian Likins 2005-01-05 20:55:32 UTC 
Currently, there is no good way to open a brush visible in
the brush dialog as an image and edit it. You have to
File->open, navigate the file system to a hidden dir (.gimp-*),
then to the brushes dir, then figure out which filename 
corresponds to the brush you want to edit, then open it. 

It would be much better ui to have an option in the brush
editor screen (or possibly even the brush select dialog)
to "Open brush as image".
Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2005-01-05 20:57:24 UTC 
note, I belive this should be in addition to
#163057, not instead of it. The ideas in
#163057 are much quicker and easy to
access than attempting to do it as
an image. But for more complicated
tweaking and editing, being able to
easily open it as an image would be useful.
