app: tweak the tool pointers options in Preferences.
- Rename "Mouse Pointers" frame to just "Pointers". It's not just about
mice but all input devices.
- Move the "Pointers" options from "Image Windows" to "Input Devices"
tab in Preferences. It looks to me it's more about how you configure
the device pointers than anything really image window-related.
- Move the paint tool options in their own frame "Paint Tools" to really
differentiate the generic pointer options from the ones specific to
paint tools. This frame is added side by side to the "Pointers" frame
to hopefully underline they are related.
I'm still annoyed by the fact that if you uncheck both the "Show brush
outline" and the "Show pointers for paint tools", it will actually show
a big crosshair in such case. I can understand the logic (not to end up
in a case with absolutely no indication of your pointer position). But
then shouldn't we rather forbid unchecking them both at once? It would
be clearer IMO. On the other hand, are they people who like this big
crosshair and use this?
Other thing I was annoyed about was whether you would not want to have
the "Single dot" only on paint tools. But as Aryeom told me, maybe let's
just try it like this and see if people ask for a double option (pointer
on paint tools vs. pointer on other tools) as it is already very
complicated settings as it is. I mean, at some point, I even thought
about a per-device pointer. I also studied the possibility of detecting
whether you are on a display-tablet (when you are more likely to want an
unobtrusive pointer) or not (then you may be very annoyed each time you
can't even spot easily your pointer on screen). But GTK doesn't give
this later information, and as Carlos reminded me, even a display-tablet
can be mapped to another display, so even if we could detect a
display-tablet, it would not mean it is reliable information for making
a decision on whether we want a light pointer.
