Re: [Gimp-developer] Unified Transform Tool - Hide the starting image

[Øyvind Kolås <pippin gimp org>]

The transform tool code is a straight port of how things were done in
GIMP-2.8 to GEGL ways; and thus contains many optimizations and
architectural details/constraints that no longer apply. Removing
these, in particular the old way of doing previews; and manipulating a
live GEGL graph instead; would give the final result with the layer in
its position of the layer hierarchy as the preview.
