I'm using GIMP 2.8.18.

I thought a nice feature would be to add "Create a New Image" to resize canvas options (and specifically the "Fill with:" options -- background color, foreground color, white, transparency).

Right now it forces transparency if you're using an alpha channel and you must paint. And if there are pixels at the edge of the new transparent area which fall within the threshold of the paint bucket, it spills over.

Sorry... but I don't get what you are describing.

Can you make a list of steps you currently have to do to achieve what you want, and a list of steps you'd like to do instead?

This is a feature, not a bug. You are resizing the canvas, not the image. If the expanded areas were not transparent, which of the colors of the image would you want for the background? If you do want a colored border around the image (by having color replace the transparency) it's easy enough to add a layer below the image that is colored.

(1) Create a new image of any size (200 x 200 for example). (2) Click the "+" by Advanced options, and note the "Fill with:" combo box / dropdown.
(3) Click OK.
(4) Go to Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel (if you didn't select it during (2)).
(5) Go to Image -> Canvas Size.
(6) Change it to 300 width and 300 height, and click "Center". (7) Select "All layers" under "Resize layers:" (8) Click "Resize".

Note that there is a transparent border around the 200 x 200 center. It would be nice to have the same "Fill with:" option available in (2) under the "Advanced Options".

Already done in upcoming 2.9.6.

While you are making some "Fill with" changes, how about removing these from under the menu item "Edit":

Fill with FG color Fill with BG color
Fill with Pattern

Stroke Selection Stroke Path

And putting them under one of: Select; Image; Colors; or Tools.

Any one would be a much more logical place to find a "Selection Fill" tool.

Thank you, Rick S.

Thank you, Alex. It was the next logical step, yes? :-)

Select _might_ be a good choice. But both Image, Colors, and Tools are completely irrelevant here.

Alex

I agree. "Select" was my first and preferred choice.

Does "Layer -> Layer to image size" not do what you want? (It will use the current background colour to fill).
