Fill and Stroke definately don't belong in the Selection menu (you could be filling or stroking a Path not just a selection). The Select menu keeps the selection options nicely seperate from manipulating the image (or drawable ie the contents of the selection). Although there was a problem adding things to Select menu does not seem like the right solution and it was one of the few suggestions in the report I strong disagreed with. The suggestions to provide much more information in the status bar (like the way Inkscape does) sounded like a good idea but would probably be rather time consuming work. Adobe Illustrator uses Edit, Stroke and Edit, Fill... (just one item for Fill which pops up a dialog with lots of options and fill types of all kinds). Photoshop also has "Layer, Filled Layer" (or similar) which allows you to choose a texture/pattern and inserts a new layer with that fill. I dont recall Jasc having any extra fill options besides using the bucket tool (and I double checked by looking at various sites including this one http://moonsdesigns.com/tutorials/psp8/tools.html ) Sincerely Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/
