It IS useful behavior when you are initially setting up a gradient, but not when you are tweaking the parameters later on. On the other hand, dragging and dropping a color onto a gradient node handle paints both sides of that node that color. Which is definitely quite useful behavior - it does avoid the issue of GIMP not treating node colors as contiguous by default (it should, really!) . -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. |
