Selection mode - change of behavior between 2.6 and 2.8
Hi,
I got a complaint from a hard core artist today about a behavior that
changed between gimp2 .6 and 2.8
I was not aware of. (And no, it does not absolutely have to do with
the file export options)
It has to do with the selection mode: Once selected in the tool options, the "add to selection", "subtract from selection" and "intersect with selection" options where permanent until changed again - in GIMP 2.6.
In GIMP 2.8, the setting is reset with the selection. I.E. if the
selction is cleared,
the setting goes back to the default of "Replace selection".
This artist is complaining this breaks his workflow in a hard way. (I mean: he relies on the setting remaining at "add to selection" after clearing the selection)
Was this behavior change on purpose, or is this a bug on 2.8? If on purpose, is there a rationale?
As a work-around for 2.10 we could create actions to set the mode with a
shortcut (so one could press ctrl+shift+a to clear the selection
followed by a configured shortcut
to turn the "add to selection" mode.)
Regards,

Yeah, I noticed that too, and vote for a return to the old behaviour.

While trying to get my friend a work around to this behavior I
perceived the following:
If one calls (gimp-selection-clear ) from either the script-fu or
Python-fu consoles,
the selection is cleared, but the selection edition mode is
unchanged. (i.e., it remains
in "add to selection" )
However, if I create a one line script-fu with just this call, the
selection edition mode
is reset to "replace" when the script is run.
From this is I infer the behavior has to do with gimp-context settings
around the call
of a script rather than something done on purpose - and is therefore a
bug, that should be fixed
in 2.8. line. Is this correct?

Not here.
I click "add to selection button", drag to add selection, release, click inside area to confirm. The "add" mode is still on. I remove selection. The "add" mode is still on. What am I doing wrong? :)

This is a bug that's fixed in git master.
And *cough* Joao, from a hard core GIMP veteran I would have expected to figure this ;)
