Maybe that is stating things a bit harshly but "selection operations" should be limited to operating on selections. I am a great fan of overloading commands but there needs to be some basic and comprehensible limits to what groups of commands do, otherwise they cease to be "groups". How is it any more of a "power tool" to hold ALT+CTRL while a Selection Tool is active versus pressing another key (such as "M") to activate a Move Tool? Especially since the result is a floating selection for which "selecting" will no longer be of any use (you can either Anchor or continue to Move). And if moving the selection contents is such a useful tool to have at one's disposal (with which I would heartily agree), why is it an almost hidden auxiliary function of the Selection Tool -- with no equivalent elsewhere in the toolbox? OFF-TOPIC: A screenshot of the Move Tool "double option" window is available at http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/GIMP/Screenshots/Move.png That was compiled from Monday's CVS. I will try rebuilding this weekend. ------------------------------------------------ "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." -- Harry S.
