1. The "percent" setting is relative to maximal image dimension (ie. image width or height, whichever is larger). Ref: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/app/paint/gimppaintoptions.c?h=gimp-2-8#n591 And as far as I can see it *does* work as intended - eg. Paintbrush Tool with Dynamics=Fade Tapering, Fade length=100% will fade in/out over a *stroke* length equal to the larger of image width and height. And pro rata for other values of "percent". [But note that it is the maximal *image* dimension, not *drawable* dimension.] 2. No it cannot currently be set programmatically. The fade parameters are *dynamic options* (ie. specific to the fade dynamic), not common *paint options* (ie. applicable to all paint tools regardless of dynamics). And setting dynamic options is AFAIK not currently supported via PDB. IIRC this problem has been noted before but I cannot find anything on bugzilla about it now. Note this is a wider problem than just fade length, it requires a generalized method of getting/setting *all* dynamic options.
