I just uploaded a new patch to ftp.gimp.org (the file name is gimp-quinet-000308-0.patch.gz). This patch fixes the problems with Edit/Fill by allowing the user to choose the fill mode. The "Fill with background color" is prefered by some users who have been using the Gimp for a long time, but this is considered as a bug (or a non-intuitive feature) by those who are familiar with most other paint programs and who prefer "Fill with foreground color". This patch adds a new parameter to gimp_edit_fill(), which specifies the fill mode (FOREGROUND_FILL, BACKGROUND_FILL, ...). It also replaces the menu entry "<Image>/Edit/Fill" with two entries "<Image>/Edit/Fill with foreground" (bound to Ctrl-,) and "<Image>/Edit/Fill with background" (bound to Ctrl-. as before). WARNING: this patch applies to the core only and does not modify any of the Script-Fu or Perl-Fu scripts. This means that all scripts using gimp_edit_fill() will be broken because of the extra parameter. A trivial fix is to add the parameter BACKGROUND_FILL to all calls to gimp_edit_fill(), or BG-IMAGE-FILL in Script-Fu. Tomorrow, I will upload a separate patch adressing this issue (and some other fixes) in Script-Fu. In the meantime, this patch can be used by anybody who wants to update the Perl scripts or to update the translation of the menus. The patch is against 1.1.18. I wrote the first version for 1.1.17, but I upgraded to 1.1.18 yesterday and re-built the patch to make sure that it applies cleanly. I did not have the time to finish cleaning up all the Script-Fu scripts, so I decided to split the patch in two parts and to upload the first part today so that others (Marc?) can start working on the Perl scripts. -Raphael
