Animated brushes can be saved with such config... but it does nothing as it is not implemented publicly, so I guess anybody that tries the setting just gives up and saves with any of the other options from the drop downs. The other use case for using the time is the airbrush. I looked at it time ago and looked again due this thread, first idea was checking the remaining of airbrush timer, but there seems to be none (yet?). It is required as airbrush stamps every X time, but if you move faster, the effect of time is ignored, getting stronger stampings than what really should happen. So no, there is no current use of velocity, but just cos it is not implemented, and thus nobody thinks about possible uses. Sounds a bit recursive. ;] GSR _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
