That's exactly why we moved this functionality out of the Crop tool. A user who wants to enlarge the image is never going to look for this in the Crop tool. It simply does not belong there. > Therefore I'd still > consider the "non-destructive" crop feature at least a usability > enhancement.

So you would also assume that you can use a scissor to lengthen your trousers? No, you wouldn't. So why do you assume that a crop tool would allow you to enlarge the image? Probably only because it used to do that in an earlier version. I admit that this is problematic. We could certainly need some more help with the user manual to cover such changes better. It would be nice if we had an updated user manual with each release that points out how certain work-flows changed. Then the GIMP user interface could continue to become more intuitive and easier to use for new users, without distracting long-time GIMP users. I am sure that the GIMP docs team would agree with me. But they could also need more help, just as we need more developers.
