Here are some usability points which I commonly notice during icon-editing. 1) Icons open at 100% view, which is tiny in the window & far smaller than what I want for working at. This always requires two steps -- increase magnification, and then drag the window larger. Not very optimal workflow I don't think. 2) Brush defaults to 20px tapered-circle. For 16x16 icons, does it really make sense to always default to such a brush? 3) Not very easy to test icons. There's no quick way to get rid of the selection border, layer borders & background checks to view the overall tonality & see how it looks against a white background. 4) Feature idea: Especially nice would be the ability to view & test icons, or transparency in general, by dragging it against a white/ and variegated background (or over the whole desktop) with a range of zoom levels from 100 - 400%. 5) Exporting the icon: do I have to choose PNG options each time? As I understand it, PNG is a lossless format. Options might be valuable for JPEG sometimes, other times some standard presets would be fine.. But for 600-byte PNG files picking some defaults once would be sufficient for me. Every time after that it comes up, it kinda seems just like an unnecessary step. Perhaps icon-editing is a little bit different from the "photographic editing" usecase, but it's quite common. Does anybody else find areas where GIMP could support the user/ workflow better? Suggestions welcome.
