Description Sven Neumann 2008-03-06 07:57:00 UTC 
This was originally discussed in bug #167926. This bug complained about the fact that the transform tool preview doesn't take the layer opacity and blending mode into account. There are more things that the preview doesn't take into account, such as the position in the layer stack. This is not going to change until the port to GEGL is complete, so this bug was closed as WONTFIX.

This enhancement request is about adding an adjustable opacity to the transform tool preview. This should make it easier to adjust the transformation as it allows to align the preview with the image content.

Most of this is already in place. What's missing is a control for the preview opacity. This can be taken from the last patch attached to bug #167926.

	* app/tools/gimptransformtool.c
	* app/tools/gimptransformoptions.[ch]
	* app/display/gimpdisplayshell-preview.c: take the preview opacity
	from the transform tool options. Based on a patch from Tom Lechner.
	Closes bug #520690.
