Hi.

Could we have an option to hide the original image while the transform operation is in progress in the unified transform tool. I do not often want to see the original position of the image I am transforming, because it is distracting.

IMO, it shouldn't be an option, it should simply be the the only way to do this. As it is often a case, it's one of the things that have to be done, but there's noone with enough spare time and skills to write the code.

This is a behaviour that is common for all current trasnform tools, btw: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315051

There's also the question of what do do about the transparency of the layer itself: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635940

It might be tricky to transform a layer at a very low opacity - or one that is hidden behind some other layers originally.

The transform tool code is a straight port of how things were done in GIMP-2.8 to GEGL ways; and thus contains many optimizations and architectural details/constraints that no longer apply. Removing these, in particular the old way of doing previews; and manipulating a live GEGL graph instead; would give the final result with the layer in its position of the layer hierarchy as the preview.

While we're at it, can we set the default for "guides" to 0? It's another thing that persistently gets in the way of viewing the transform, every time, without fail.
