A tracking bug for GIMP curves-related bug reports?

Hi All,

I was about to file a new bug report on GIMP Curves, specifically about how difficult it is to place precise points especially in the shadows and especially when using Linear RGB.

But instead I did a search and found 9 open bug reports about Curves, some of which have been open for as long as 11 years, and some of which are about making it easier to place precise points on a Curve, including one I filed two years ago and forgot about.

Would it make sense/be helpful to open a tracking bug for Curves and copy the following 9 bug report links/summaries to the tracking bug?

1. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/1528 Allow precise or numeric input in color curves tool open 1 month

2. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/814 Problems with placing points on Curves open 2 years

3. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/700 Add "black point", "grey point", "white point" and "auto" buttons to the curves dialog
open 3 years
IMHO bad idea conceptually, too easy to clip colors. Also see this related bug report - something could be done to improve using GIMP Levels for white balancing without clipping: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/624 - White balancing gives unpredicable and/or unusable result open 3 years

4. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/699 Curves RGB histogram Make the histogram (dialog, Levels, Curves, etc) default to show RGB instead of Value
open 3 years

5. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/656 RFE: checkbox to limit curves tool to always increase (not flatten or invert)
open 3 years

6. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/332 Color curves tool: Grid setting wish open 8 years

7. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/331 adjust color curves: limit the curve points to function only (seems to be about more control over placing points that are close together) open 8 years

8. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/241 Support other color spaces in Curves
(with links to bug reports marked as "duplicates" that explore the idea of Curves such as LAB/LCH)
open 11 years

9. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/239 Shortcut for Channel selection in Curves dialog etc. open 11 years.

Best,
Elle
