As I can see, GIMP UI is undergoing some minor cleanups in svn version. Just two observations. Nothing major. :)
I've noticed that only Smudge Tool doesn't have brush scaling, which is just inconsistent to to other tools.
And second one is about Pressure sensitivity. Opening that tab could align it's sub-options vertically not just horizontally (if tool window width is too small, of course). As is right now, everything fits into window here, but hitting the expand arrow brings sliders which can easily destroy window's layout.

Vladimir,

things are in change, nothing can be done over night.

I'm aware of that. I didn't want to sound like pushing someone to do something. If I did, then sorry... (but I'm not even in position for doing things like that)

I found a lot of ...let say "...here could be better" in few areas - but I prepare my material and my studies for the guys which work right now for GIMP UI redesign.

Oh, well... I can't find my "proposal" to be bug or/and feature request. So I didn't open ticket in tracker. It's not UI redesign neither. It's more like, as I've said, inconsistency... :) But that's more like subjective classification.... :)

I threw it in on mailing list. If developers/users think I need to fill report, I'll gladly do that.

Please consider following links:

http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.com/ http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/GIMP_UI_Redesign

See you there,

As soon as I do some redesign proposition, I'll catch you there.

This is not an oversight. The Smudge tool doesn't handle changes to the brush size currently. There's already a bug report for that.

We use a GtkWrapBox there and it is known to not work perfectly. I have adjusted the aspect ratio now and this seems to improve it at least for my setup. But we really need a better solution. Hopefully the new GTK+ layout model (see http://rapicorn.org/cmpgtk.html#resizing-hysteresis) can help us with this.

OK. Thanx for the info.

Doesn't help here but I hope GTK+ will fix that. I can live with current tool behavior...
