I have also thought a bit on how to clean up the concept of brushes, and in my mind, we could do it like this: We make a "brush" be just a bitmap/svg/whatever (possibly also an animation). Note that a brush would not even have a spacing as the current GIMP gbr brushes. A "brush preset" is a brush + dynamics, and this is actually what the user typically picks. If we would have tags for brush presets, we would be one step closer to make brush options be part of the brush, so to speak. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
