question

I have been busy with other projects and haven't really had a chance to sit down and play with 2.4.1. It's pretty impressive. I do have one question. Why can't one scale the smudge tool? I am guessing that smudging complicates things too much, but I am still curious.

2.4 question

With 2.2, when making a selection, then creating a new image, the new image dimensions were those of the selection.

This does not seem to be the case in 2.4, you get the default image size.

Or have I missed something

TIA

The short answer is: The smudge tool uses a different painting backend, and so the 'scale' setting did not take appropriate effect (since changing brush size during smudging is not a very sensible thing to be able to do, the smudge backend simply ignored scaling factors.). This has since been fixed. The first 2.5 release will include the fix (and it might be backported and included in 2.4.2 as well.). The version I'm using right now (from the SVN repository) includes this fix.

That is correct. If you want a new image matching the selection size, you can do the following:

1. Edit->Copy 2. Edit->Paste As->New Image

Or have I missed something

Since this is a new feature and not strictly a bug-fix, it is not going to be backported to the 2.4 series.
