Gtk+ is already prepared for that. Changing line 420 in app/layers_dialog.c to gtk_range_set_update_policy (GTK_RANGE (slider), GTK_UPDATE_DELAYED); should do the trick without any fiddling with events. I still believe that it is a bad idea to waste undo steps for operations that don't save any shadow tiles. How hard would it be to change the undo system so that the number of undo steps is calculated only from "real" undos? What about the idea of merging consecutive changes to the layer attributes into one? Salut, Sven
