Hi Shin, I'd hardly find this useful but for some very specific patterns. Instead, I'd suggest you tried using layers and layer masks in your workflow, more or less like this: once you select the area to be filled, create an empty layer, create a layer mask on it, choose "from selection" (and empty your selection afterwards) There you are - you now fill the whole layer with your pattern and transform it however you like, with translation (not move tool), scaling, rotation, etc... js -><- On Thursday 22 November 2007 02:14:56 pm Shin Diggar wrote: > Sorry, I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know how to do this myself but > I'd like to suggest a new feature for the fill tool. > > How about an option to use the cursor position as a start point for tiling > fill-patterns rather than the top left corner of the layer?
