After looking at the code I (supposing that app/tools/gimpclonetool.c is not so different from app/clone.c) my question is: - Should the definition of the source layer be made from the clone or from the layer dialog? Is seems easier to insert, within the layer dialog, a radio button that selects which layer is used as the source. This may be a bad idea as I am making a more global change. Using the clone dialog will imply that a "complicated" dialog, nearly replicating the layer dialog, needs to be built for the clone tool. On the other hand, using the first alternative, the choice of the source may be used for other tools (e.g. to cut and paste from layer A to layer B, we work on layer B, setting the source on layer A and it would not be necessary to switch layers). Sounds reasonable? Regards Ze Paulo
