I would not expect that on right-click, but maybe I'm not representative of the standard user. The fact that right-click currently does something that is available elsewhere is nice in my opinion, as a new user doesn't have to search for it, the menus are plain visible. Once he learns right-click gives the same menus, he can choose to use one or the other or both, so I like very much the current state of right-click (even though I don't use it myself!) My point is, the user would have to guess those actions are on right-click. I'm not sure right-clicking has to be expected from the user (and new users were complaining back at the time right-click was the only way to have menus). However, the idea of tools actions may be good, I just wonder where they would fit. -- Karine Delvare http://edhel.nerim.net/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
