When I've thought about it before, I've come to the conclusion that for me it's nice more often than annoying, but I can see how Bill can come to the opposite conclusion. > IMHO what needs to be done to ease your > workflow is to let the selection tools modify an existing selection by > allowing the user to drag the selection borders or some handles > located at the borders.

If nothing else, I think it would be more useful to be able to save a tool options state manually and have gimp automatically restore to that. Rockwalrus
