The transform tool code is a straight port of how things were done in GIMP-2.8 to GEGL ways; and thus contains many optimizations and architectural details/constraints that no longer apply. Removing these, in particular the old way of doing previews; and manipulating a live GEGL graph instead; would give the final result with the layer in its position of the layer hierarchy as the preview. /pippin On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 10:40 PM, Michael Schumacher <schumaml@xxxxxx> wrote: > > > On 03/06/2015 10:07 PM, Alexandre Prokoudine wrote: >> On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 2:11 PM, Joseph Bupe wrote: > >>> Could we have an option to hide the original image while the transform >>> operation is in progress in the unified transform tool.
