pasting image: provide mode for dragging
Last modified: 2010-06-18 17:12:25 UTC
When you paste an image (to an image) you can set transparency and mode for pasting. I.e. for example you can set transparency 50% and after pasting images will be "blended" with such setting. However it would be useful to have the same settings for related operation -- not "pasted", but "pasting", i.e. dragging the image. It would be great to have the ability to set for example transparency to 50% (or mode: difference) but for dragging only, so the placement of the block of the image would be easier. And once you drop this (!) setting is "canceled" (or rather ignored) and classical mode is set. So it would be easy to fine-tune the placement (click&hold LMB) and see how it looks after pasting, "big picture" (release LMB). I hope this text is clear enough, if not, please let me know, I prepare some mockups.
Hi! It's an interesting idea, but our bug tracker is not a place for brainstorming, use the gimp-developer mailing list or gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com for that. Thanks!
For the record: * it was rejected from brainstorm * it was posted to ML but till now there is not replies (so either it is so breathtaking and perfect idea there is no room for polishing it ;-), or no one thinks it would improve productivity) Anyway, completely dead end.
Why was it rejected from the brainstorm?
"the brainstorm is not for feature requests."
Finally: http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/2010/06/clearer-moving.html I hope it won't be an end for it.
