[Gimp-user] IImprovements to unified transform

[BWK <forums gimpusers com>]

Unified transform is great and has saved me a lot of time with tasks that I do.

I work with aerial photographs which can be very large images, like 5000 or
10000 pixels a side. When I overlay a historical aerial photo on top of a recent
one, I need to be able to access a size handle (maybe also a skew handle)
anywhere on the image, not just in a few places along the edges. The alignment
has to be very precise, and having to zoom out or scroll to find a handle I can
drag to resize the preview can mean I can't see as precisely or in the right
place.

We need something like a modifier key we press to make the diamond and square
appear right where the mouse is and we can drag right there instead of the
handles that are on the edges. It would have the same impact as dragging one of
the edge handles in the same direction.

TIA
