Hi there!

I filed a “bug” with an enhancement request to the GIMP Bugzilla, but
Martin Nordholts told me, to send a mail to the GIMP developers mailing
list first, so … here it is :)


I had a kind of map opened as image in GIMP. I used the path tool and
clicked a path alon a route i want to measure. After i did this i tried
to get the path’s length. But i noticed really soon, that it is not
possible to output the path’s total length without learning script-fu.

In the second try i used the measurement tool. But this did not work
neither, because the measurement tool only allows up to two segments
connectet with only one node.

I worked around this by using the measurement tool with it maximum only
two segments, wrote all lengths down and calculated the full length after.

There were “only” 17 values i got, but at least, it worked … kinda.

It would be very good, if …

1. the measurement tool would be able to create as many segments as
needed, giving the total length.

… or …

2. there would be a possibility to output the total length of a path.


Kind regards,
Dirk
