Requested feature

remove any support for "blur" as a color application mode:

  • in the menus
    • so the color popovers can be better
  • in the help manual
    • and its screenshots
  • thus more tools can support operators
    • shapes?
    • [?] text
    • brush
      • case of the "erase" mode
    • ...?

an optional "censoring" tool should then exist:

  • it draws rectangles instead of following the pencil
  • so it's more realistic to apply a slower blur
  • options include a stateful action with a type of way to hide text, including a solid color and blur
    • implement a "shuffle pixels" utility

Possible drawbacks

Not possible to use the classic pencil as a "wet finger" to blur things anymore. The "fast blur" was so awful i think this feature will not be missed lol

Possible alternatives

Nothing.

Use case

It currently makes it too hard to support operators with advanced tools, it has to go

also, some people complain they don't find how to hide some text?????

restructure the menus to get operators, to get a more usable popover

in the context of #329, "blur" is gone so the color popover felt empty

now it has 3 submenus, and it'll change again to make better use of its hidden radiobuttons

Rewrite the UI for color application mode

now buttons are generated in python, and they're displayed when active (instead of staying hidden)

this is part of #329

"Censor" tool drawing rectangles to hide text specifically, with options

instead of the initially designed general-purposed blurred straight line. Options include various types of possible censoring, which aren't implemented yet. #329
