I agree with Michael that the design in the proposed specification although looks cool , it can be complex for first time users. Having said that I personally like the original specification as it is more clean and efficient once understood. Inkscape has a more easy approach to this but it doesn't offer that much transformations as required in this tool. The original specification provides all the tools in a single view rather than toggling to different mode for different transformations. For different users the choice may be different. In my opinion tools incorporated in the unified transform tool should be of basic transformations. Adding too many of them can cause more confusion than providing utility. We can also provide an option for users to select between the super frame mode(the original specification) and normal transformation mode (for a simple specification as suggested by Michael) which i think should not be hard enough to implement. The idea suggested by Ofnuts to set different scale point is noteworthy. There should be a provision for changing the axis for different transformations(not only for scaling,rotation but also for perspective and shear) with a reset button to restore defaults. These are just some of my ideas and opinion regarding this. For a better implementation we need to more ideas and suggestion both from users and developers. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
