Description Vlado Potisk 2005-01-26 12:50:10 UTC
Massive perspective changes without the "clip result" option selected could
result in very resource intensive computing - e.g. computing time in minutes
even on fast CPUs and swap file in gigabytes. This is not acceptable unless you
really need it. That's why I'd like to suggest making "clip result" the default.
Comment 1 weskaggs 2005-01-26 17:02:49 UTC
I disagree -- it is very common to do perspective changes and then move the
result -- probably a lot more common than to do massive perspective changes.  

It is, however, desirable to allow the user to change the default for things
like this.  See also bug #165078.
Comment 2 Vlado Potisk 2005-01-26 22:50:46 UTC
Maybe the "clip result" is not the best solution, but I think this situation
should be handled in some way.

Technically the problem is in the size of the transformed layer. In my test with
a sample picture from a 6MP digital camera it reached 180MP. A warning could be
given before such computation starts. Similar warning is already implemented in
the File->New dialog, if the file is too large, user has to confirm the action.

Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2005-01-26 23:35:41 UTC
I think this is rather a request for a "clip to bounding box". "clip result"
destroys visible layer data, "clip to bounding box" would preserve it, but not
add more and more transparent area with each transformation.
Comment 4 weskaggs 2005-02-25 19:49:48 UTC
Makes sense.  Changing summary to indicate what is actually desired.
