Hello!
I'm new here, so first of all I would like to say it's a wonderful job
that has been done in 2.8. Knowing a little bit of programming, I
thought I might help with minor improvements to the software.
So, I came up with these little improvements to Gimp that would make it
better, in my own point of view. I would like to share these suggestions
to you, to see if they are really relevant. And I ask for your pardon if
I am writing things that have already been discussed.
Here are the suggestions:
1- When you are using the scale or rotate tool and try to insert a
guide, it doesn't close the tool.
2- add the option to snap guides at the border and/or center of layers
bounds.
3 - add the option to autocrop layers to their limits (the same thing
like when you do 'alpha to selection' then 'layers -> crop to
selection') whenever you change it.
4 - add a checkbox button in the scale tool for scale from center. Maybe
add also a keyboard shortcut for it.
For the fourth suggestion I saw an entry in bug list, where a complete
system of anchor for scale was intended to be made. So this could be an
temporary fix for something I think it's important. I know that you can
scale from center using layer->scale layer, but I though "why scale tool
don't do it?"
Also, as I said before, if you think any of the suggestions are good
ones I could try to implement them myself. But I am really new here, so
I think I would have to understand the code and the development proccess
first. I could make it a plug-in or script, but if I am going to code it
and it's relevant, I thought I might do it directly to the source code
of the program. And, of course, it would be a great honor to contribute
with a software and philosophy that I admire.
Thanks for the attention!
