Hi, I've just noticed yet another forum thread where someone asks a question in the lines of "why does it not work?" and gets a reply "image / mode / rgb". It pops up so frequentrly that maybe we need some sort of a clever notification/indication throughout the application about such things? Not sure how it's going to make sense in GEGL-based GIMP where there will be no indexed mode, though. That, however, raises another question: we currently rely a lot on the status bar and the sidebar for various hints (e.g. "this rectangular selection you are making is that wide and that high" or "pick the original sample for the clone tool, stupid"). The problem is: if we are targeting professionals, then we are targeting people with large displays. Judging by my own experience, the last thing you want to do on with regards to a 24" is losing focus on canvas and making your eyes travel up/down and sideways. Earlier in this dev cycle mitch introduced a new on-canvas indicator for transformation tools which is an improvement at cost of "friggin stop that operation" button functionality. But do we have a grand UI/UX plan and on that and the misterious "big picture" of what we intend to do?
