Next version, questions, requests

Hello,

I would like to ask if, and suggest that, the next version of Liquid Rescale will have interactive rescaling? I've seen others writing that Liquid Rescale will have an interactive rescale option — I know it already has somewhat interactivity in 0.6.1 — but, I would like something more like the interactivity in Photoshop.

I know this is a hard task, I just want to know whether the next coming version (0.6.2?) is the version that you might implement truly interactive rescaling.

On that note: When is the next version coming out? Or how close is it to being released?

Also, I would like to know if there is anyway I can "beta test" each version before they are released? All I would need is source code that can be compiled :)

Thank you.

About a more interactive rescaling, unfortunately it won't be possible unless the plugin is included in GIMP as a tool (just like the standard scaling, the perspective tool etc.). As soon as I can guarantee to have some more time for the project I'm going to propose inclusion in GIMP.

About next version (0.7.0), it's not coming out very soon probably. The development version currently has a few imporevements and can be downloaded from the git repository. The instructions are here (there's also an RSS feed to know when new commits are up). If you want to volounteer for beta-testing you can send me an email and be notified when a new version is about to come out, this would be very apprecieted (and of course the same invitation is open for anyone who may want to volounteer for this).

Well, that's too bad about the interactivity.

I don't know much about coding for GIMP, but, I think that you could use GIMP's source code and extract the rescale tool, and make it into a Module, I've seen Modules that added buttons to GIMP, color selecting, paint tools, and all sorts of other cool things like that.

Maybe Liquid Rescale could be made into a Module and have the functionality as if being included in GIMP?
