Otherwise, why is it called move tool? Why can I select it but can't use it? Whenever I can use the move tool, I should be able to use it to move whatever is the current selected layer, frame, selection subarea of a frame/layer, or slice. Anyway is something that must be thought with patience. selecting several layers with a box like selection, transforming several layers+slices at the same time which may be related to #2173 too, etc.). I would say that the Move tool is in its simplest form at the moment, it could be improved a lot (e.g.

What should happen if there is a layer, selection, and slices, should we move the selection or the slice if we click outside the selection and inside the slice? or slices do not make sense with the Move tool.Īs in this discussion, if we drag-and-drop the selection with the move tool it's just like moving the selection only. What about slices? should the Move tool move slices (like the slices tool already do that). Not sure if this would be better than the first case. The layer + the selection: it would be like right now but with the extra behavior that selection borders are moved too (no pixels are changed, only the cel and the selection border). if we click outside the selection with the Move tool, what should happen? should we move the layer below the mouse cursor, or the selection, or it depends on the "Auto Select Layer" option: Move tool to move the whole layer (just like right now), e.g. For example, I see several use cases for the move tool: The only problem that I would need some help is to analyse if there is something we're missing. We could add the possibility to start the whole selection movement cycle with the move tool.

That some users find confusing that they cannot move only the selection pixels with the move tool indicates that something is not working as expected.
