Hello there, I wonder if the idea of a point-and-click tool to create guides could be a good one? The idea there is to directly create guides with a minimum number of clicks in order to speed up a production process. It is based upon my (long, subjective and perfectible) experience w/ the Gimp 2.x. The way of doing it could be, for instance: in one click you pick the create-guide tool from the side dock, then you click on the image: it creates a horizontal or vertical guide at this click's x or y - horizontal or vertical axis could be determined using ctrl or shift modifier. Clicking in the margin (outside the layer boundary) could be even more intuitive, up/down margin to create vertical guides, left/right to create horizontal ones, still for instance. While moving the mouse pointer with this tool, a "live" guide shadow could be displayed, in order to provide a visual clue about the guide location that you validate when you click to create it. Any thought? Regards, -- wwp
