TODO is outdated and unmaintained and not really a list of stuff todo, but rather a list of some good and some bad ideas that have come up over the last years. > I came across the crop tool idea (the one that mentions blending/filling > with colors etc.) and decided "hey, that wouldn't be too hard." I've got the impression you implemented something different than what is mentioned in the TODO. The TODO mentions a GUI-only feedback during the process of selecting the area to be cropped. This means temporary shading (or filling) the areas outside the selected rectangle somewhere in the compositing pipeline to give the user a better impression of what the result will look like. Did I get you right, that you thought about filling the region outside the cropped area permanently as an alternative action of the Crop tool? If so, I doubt this is a useful addition, since this can easily be done by using rect-select, invert-selection, bucket-fill. Salut, Sven
