Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] cut-and-paste, copy-and-paste

Albert, this is a nice idea, it's basically what I had in mind for
selection.  I would also like some facility for turning one of these
selections into a regular stamp.

Bill, I'm still not that keen on having Add/Remove Selection tools.  I
think multiple selection adds a lot of UI complexity without enough to
gain from it.  I love the elegance of being able to make a selection
with a hole in it, but I'm concerned it comes at the expense of having
some kids not use selections at all because they're bewildered by all
the buttons.  That said, it's something I'm not against trying out to
see what actual kids think of it.
