It's a pain not knowing where your brush will land - ESPECIALLY because when the image is zoomed in or out, the brush size can be much larger or smaller than you expect. If you say 'gimp *.png' and have a bunch of images - some larger than the screen - some smaller, they can each have a different image resolution - so you tend to pick a brush suitable for a very high res image - then move over to a lower res image and discover that now you are painting with something *much* larger than you expect with very little visual cues as to what's going on. Of course, this isn't necessarily an easy feature to implement. It's not as simple as setting the X cursor to the right thing because when you are zoomed right in and painting with a huge brush, you can end up with a cursor that covers half the screen! What might be interesting would be a 'preview cursor' that shows you what the pixels would look like *if* you clicked the mouse button right then. > Thanx for any consideration.
