(Personaly, I learned the shortcuts for > all frequently used tools, but I still use the tool palette at times) Thorsten has got a point with the preferred proximity of the tool options to the tool palette. As it looks and feels at the moment, these need to be close to each other to show their connection. One solution for this is to start tying the options to what actually gets done with the tool to the image, and start putting the options in heads-up displays near to where one is working. --ps principal user interaction architect man + machine interface works http://mmiworks.net/blog : on interaction architecture _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
