[Gimp-user] guides and rotate preview

[Mikel Garai <mikel garai eu>]

Hi!

I am working with the 2.7 version (compiling what is in git). I notice 
that the rotate tool's preview is drawn in front of the guides. I read 
several times in this list that the rotate's preview right now is a hack 
due to performance, but in the 2.6 branch this same hack used to draw 
the guides in the top.

If reverting this is a trivial change, I would appreciate this working 
as it used to in the 2.6 branch, that I think is what guides are for. If 
this leads to a complex change don't bother, is not that big deal, just 
a little annoying.

The same is happening in scale, shear and perspective tools too.

Of course it would be awesome if this worked correctly in the layer 
stack and with the layer blending/opacity/mask and so on, but this seems 
like a much more drastic change for now, and maybe not even practical 
due to performance.

Thanks for all the hard work and this wonderful application! I'm just an 
enthusiast of photography, but every time i have to post-process 
anything, GIMP is the way to go ( except some simple adjustments to 
convert RAW -> TIF )
