As I've been asked, I'll just quote what I already submitted to bugzilla, minus the typos: I see no use in non-icremental paiting. It appears to exist only because it was easier to implement than normal painting, which does not work properly, as I've filed in at least one other bug report. Not only should incremental paiting urgently be fixed, as described there, but non-incremental painting, or the option to choose between the two, should be removed as a whole. If anyone can think of a usecase where that non-intuitive, unpredictable painting mode is actually useful, please prove me wrong. Until then, I interpret the mere existance of that painting mode as an excuse to not admit one of the most serious flaws in gimp with regard to painting. To be blunt, as long as there is no way for a painter to properly anticipate the color in which he draws unless he draws in short, non-self-overlapping strokes (which, admittedly, is typical for water-color et al), gimp may be a powerful graphics-editor but remains nothing but a toy for painting (and all efforts related to painting such as providing well-designed presets remain futile). _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
