It always frustrates me that some of the built-in docks do this - e.g. I can't see whether Dodge is working on shadows, midtones or highlights without scrolling the tool options dialogue. In that particular case, splitting between the common settings of opacity, paint mode, brush, and the size / aspects ratio / angle duplicated from the brush editor, the paint dynamics "Pressure Opacity" and the cryptic "Use GimpApplicator" all push down the options specific to this tool. So "Paint Options" and "Tool Options", and maybe giving Paint options a "collapse when not in use" so I don't have to look at Brush Size when I'm using the rectangle selection tool, would be a big improvement. But in general dialogues have to be able to scroll, yes, because sometimes the screen is small, or the dock is narrow, or you are entering a 45 x 45 matrix of numbers for convolution... -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
