Daniel, You're asking for what we call "vector shapes" or "vector layers". That's a longstanding goal, and a lot of the code to support it has already been written, but there are still some problems that need to be solved, probably too many to allow it to get into the next version of GIMP (which aims to come out in 6 months or so). What we are talking about here are less extensive changes that might make it easier to work with stroking in the meantime. Anyway, thanks for your input, -- Bill
