Re: [Gimp-developer] gimp gradients

[free <freewanderer rocketmail com>]

Well, if I could say something about creating gradients in gimp (as a 
regular user), there are some issues that I think that can get the user 
confused or frustrated:

- using right mouse button to change colors and to split segments: 
Intuitivelly, I see the right mouse button as "more options" for 
anything. Having to access the main funcions of the editor with right 
mouse button is strange (and I just discovered it after reading a 
tutorial).
- not allowing the movement of the endpoints is a little frustrating. If 
you want to extend the endpoint color a little, you have to create a new 
segment.
- there's a color box in the gradient editor that is only for previewing 
colors. It would be great if it could be used to change the selected 
segment color. Have to use foreground/background color slows a little 
the proccess, i think.
- a numerical input for the position for the segment would be great too, 
just like Blender's ramp editor.

Well, maybe I am missing some functionality here because I never used 
too much the gradient editor, as I did not knew the drag and drop from 
palette as described here... My apologies if I addressed something that 
is wrong :)
