Well, I don't think so either. I find the method of dragging from theruler to be quite intuitive already. Then again, I was trained sincePS 2.0 (or thereabouts) that guides come from rulers - so I might bebiased ;) But if ui team is determined to find a way to add guidesw/o rulers, then a kb shortcut is the way I'd go - that's all I had tosay :) Chris_______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
