Anti-aliasing off from selecting with path

GIMP Users,

If I create a region with the path tool, and then use the path to create a selection, it seems to be anti-aliased by default.

I've turned off anti-aliasing in the tool options for all the selection tools - rectangular, circular, and magic wand - and yet converting from a path to a selection remains anti-aliased.

Is there a way to get the anti-aliasing to turn off when making selections by this method?

My main goal is to be able to select regions by clicking point by point and having straight lines between them. So far as I know, in GIMP this is accomplished by using the path tool and then converting to a selection. However, considering the above issue, if there's another way to create a selection by clicking a series of points, and have it not anti-aliased, that would be cool too.

One workaround is, to Select->Sharpen after creating the selection. This will remove all antialiasing.

I hope this helps, Simon

Yes, this does exactly what I'm after. Thank you for the suggestion.
