From what you say it seems as if you think that would be fine, and personally I also think it will be better to release 2.6 with a primitive Polygonal Select Tool rather than with no such tool at all, and simply postpone further improvements on it to 2.8 or later if it does not happen in time for 2.6. Also, by putting the tool in trunk we might even get some valuable ideas/opinions on the tool which will be useful when it is being finalized. So let's ask Jimmac for a tool icon. I have some ideas for how to do the Free Hand/Polygonal Select merge, but I'd rather await the UI team input before doing any changes. - Martin _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
