And except for bugs with the guides thenselves (which i ironed out as I developed then), I never had any side effect from using them. Snapping to these guides or intesections of these guides and others works fine. If tehre are potential greater problems, just a larger userbase would be able to detect it, and then we just fix it, or remove the feature if it needs very large changes to other program areas to work properly. And rest assured I would not commit it without having an ok from you first. Of course I'd like more feedback from users and the UI team, but nearly everyone I had mentioned this had liked the idea. It is of little use in a program like GIMP where free handed drawing is not emphasized, but sometimes it is just nice it is there. (like for stamping a brush repeating it at a gven angle). My idea for UI is just writing some code for the rotate tool to be able to rotate guides, just as the move tool can move guides. i think that once tested this won't get in anyone's path and will be a little nice feature for GIMP. regards, js -><- > Sven _______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
