--- Comment #14 from Tyson Tan <tyson...@tysontan.com> --- Grouping them sounds like an improvement. But I still think it's just too many options for a dang "magic wand" tool. Take cameras for example. They all have an "Auto/AF" mode and defaults to it. It has no options -- but that's fine -- because most people only need to take a quick shot and be satisfied as long as the subject is in focus and the color is somewhat appealing. If you force them to use the "M" mode with manual focus, they won't be able to take a usable photo at all. In fact, that's a real story from the chef of a restaurant I often eat in. It happened just last month, he saw me changing lenses of my camera, so he complained to me his new bought camera cannot focus and is too bright or too dark, and now it's collecting dust. What happened was he unknowingly set it to "M/MF" mode. Similarly, from what I heard from my local community, people are constantly getting confused when using Contiguous Selection and Fill tool because nobody can tell what's going on with the settings, and the default settings is just not doing what a "magic wand" tool is supposed to do. This is quite enough to render them useless for these users, and I'm certainly one of them -- despite understanding the options, they are not suitable for a quick glace and fast configuration. That's why I suggest a simpler "Basic" state, with only "Grow/Shrink" and "Fuziness" available. Advanced users can use an "Advanced" checkbox to enable extra options, so nothing is lost for them. I think the advanced users are often vocal with their specific needs. But the majority of our users are not so advanced, and they usually don't make their opinion known. Looking at the artist interviews on Krita.org, most of them don't look like they can handle the current level of complexity, or making use of those advanced features. I think we should take them info consideration when designing Krita's UI. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
