Cage transform tool

Wed Mar 05, 2014 4:36 pm
Hi!
I do not see any topic about that so I have decided to post it.
To me it is crucial to have a cage transform tool like GIMP or the distort transform tool in Photoshop.
For now I cannot even simulate this function combining the free transform and warp tools. It is not accurate and quite time consuming.
The free transform tool is magic and I am asking if it would be hard to add an alt + RMD option or something else to freely move one corner without affecting the others.
Thank you for that great software, goodbye.

Yes, this would be a good adition, though I'm not sure which modifier is free. The best place to register the feature request is bugs.kde.org. No promises for a quick delivery, though! (But we've got other feature requests for the transform tool as well, and might get down to it in one go.)

Hello. I went searching I think this may help ...?

http://alias.io/

He created a free transform tool for a javascript library here http://alias.io/raphael/free_transform/ if you use java this may be helpful - if not then perhaps contact the creator! He is Australian (like me so thus awesome) and loves open source software.

Seems like ALT its available. At least on my system it does nothing if pressed on it's own. Cage transform could be activated while pressing ALT and dragging a corner?

@emile_
Please add a but/wish report at http://kde.bugs.org so devs can keep an eye on the desired feature.

By default, alt -click on Linux moves the whole window. It's very annoying and limiting, and most pro artists who use Linux disable that, as far as I know. For the rest, I agree that we need this feature, so we need an entry in bugs.kde.org to track it.
