Mrseb Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Hello Rick, sorry for opening another thread for this. I would really like to help creating the polygon lasso tool. Since 3 years I am a C# WPF/WinForms .Net Software Developer at a big German company that focuses on traffic engineering and I have been requesting this feature already 5 years ago. At the moment I am working on polygon curves at work, so if you provide me a .sln with a lasso class with a canvas, I would be glad to implement this feature for you. I can also explain the code to you via teams/skype and maybe you can give me a code review, etc. Edited March 22, 2022 by Mrseb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrseb Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 I can also create a plug in if that can be included. Just tell me how to proceed on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 This is not something a plugin can do. I'm not looking for outside help on this. Just because you've been asking for a feature for X amount of time does not mean it is going to get done on any specific timeline (or at all, sometimes).

Mrseb Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 OK, I understand. Having this discussion about the polygon lasso tool again is quite annoying. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneuser Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hello Brewster! I don't think it's right for you to refuse help. Thousands of people have been asking for this feature for years, but it didn't make it into the program. Everyone loves working with this program, but this is a fundamental shortcoming! I use the polygon lasso selection in Gimp because there is no need to beg for a basic function. I would like to ask when this function will be included in the program by default? Thank you and thousands of us are waiting for your answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's right for you to refuse help... ...thousands of us are waiting for your answer Wow! Is that the right way to ask for something? (Hint, the answer is No) Rick gave a complete answer on 22 March 2022 in his comment above and has also included it in the Popular Feature Requests thread here: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/2940-popular-feature-requests/ where he wrote: "Polygonal lasso / selection tool - At some point, yes. Not sure when though (no ETA)." That thread also says: "I'll say it again: If the feature you want is on this list, do not open a new thread to ask for it or to discuss it. If it's on this list then either: (1) the feature is so simple or obvious that no discussion is really warranted and I'd rather you find something new and more productive to talk about, or (2) the feature has already been discussed to death and we have no need for any further information -- we've already heard it all and any more discussion is painful." Also, you have revived a thread that is year and a half old, an action which is against the forum rules. Please click on 'Forum Rules' at the top of the page and read them. Your comment has added nothing to the discussion and has wasted the time of everyone that was notified that there was new Unread Content. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
