Agree in concept, as part of a more unified paintbrush for 1.3, but I vote that we do not remove the pencil for the 1.2. About half the people I speak with think of it as a "hard-edge paintbrush" and their instincts have them grab the pencil whenever they want to do "precision" drawing. I also agree with Nick Lamb in that our energies ought to be spent in ferreting out unusual behaviour, logging bug reports, and fixing those that are tractible, given our various skills and talents. I believe this effort is more important than rescuing tools that just aren't done yet. Just this morning I discovered (1) Fuzzy select works fine with core pointers but with when the tablet is being used as a pointer device, Fuzzy select can run for minutes, and its not unusual to find 60 -120 references to the function find_contiguous_region_helper() on the call stack. (runaway recursion - don't know why, yet) (2) Confirmed with Calvin Williamson on Wednesday that the smudge tool should *never* introduce the color black when (a) "Keep Trans=TRUE" AND (b) No black is in the image AND (c) the user smudges from transparency to opacity. (3) After switching to the tablet, then using tool icon drag-and-drop in the Device Status dialog box, I *usually* get a segment violation. Three bugs in four days. And I wasn't really looking for them, They just happened when I was trying to have fun. I don't think we can even begin to claim Gimp Stability yet. 56 days to All Fools' Day. Must file some bug reports now. Be good, be well Garry Osgood
