Re: [Gimp-developer] Selections to shapes

["Joao S. O. Bueno" <gwidion gmail com>]

Try using "Select->To Path" --
Everything you describe is already possible.

Although, maybe, selection->To path could have more usability if it
would change to the Path Tool, with the new path as active, so that
its nodes are displayed at once. Currently, one has to manually go to
the Paths dockable, set the path as visible, select the Path Tool and
click on the path (4 separate actions) before being able to see the
handles.
