[Gimp-user] Guide Selection Percent

[zadkey <forums gimpusers com>]

Currently in Gimp 2.8 the best offering is to create Guides from a selection or
by percent.
The Guides by percent feature allows only integers for some reason. This should
be changed. EX :Try dividing a an image up into 7 equal pieces horizontally. It
can't be done without painstakingly doing the calculations yourself (which
invalidates the whole point of the feature in the first place). Allowing
doubles/floats for percents would fix this.

A separate issue is that the window always appears as a background window. It is
never in focus. It always appears behind the current Gimp window, which is
contrary to the behavior of so many other gimp windows. Items from the filter
menu that create windows get focus, why not this?. This issue can easily be
fixed by doing a focus command after creating the window the same ways the
filters do.
