[Gimp-user] freehand selection lost since image was already selected




Say you've zoomed in to start this painstaking freehand selection with
lots and lots of points, and when you get to the end, nothing gets
selected. Then you notice that, once again, you had done a Select All
some time ago (invisible because you zoomed in) and forgotten to Select
None before clicking the lasso.

What do people do to avoid this? (I know the obvious answer is "remember
to check what your selection is all the time", but that's seriously
flow-disruptive.)

Ideally GIMP could blink the image or something when you add selection
points that don't increase/decrease the already selected area, but I
guess that might take some time to implement.
