Feature-Request n-point-deformation tool [still experimental in playground]
@Jehan on 2021-10-22
Update byThe tool has been partly implemented in a GSOC and code has been merged years ago. Unfortunately it is unfinished and any of the original authors are not here anymore, which is why the tool is in the "sandbox" part of the application.
It means there is no need to report bugs against our current version, unless you plan to work on the code yourself. Other than this, what we first need is a contributor again interested to take the tool code where it was and finish it.
Because yes we know: n-point deformation tool is currently broken, it is slow, has issues and will even usually crash GIMP altogether. No need to report about this. Code just needs to be finished.
Therefore: any bug report about an issue with the n-point deformation tool will simply be duplicated as the current bug report.

Description
Actually ( http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.devel/26453 ) the new GSOC 2013 developed n-point-deformation-tool is not in the master branch of 2.9/2.10 Please change that. (Do whatever is neccesary to finish this impressive work.) That is a really important feature, direct comparing with a very popular tool in photoshop! (And beside this, it was advertised in public as exemplary Gimp GSOC project. Don't underestimate the impact of dropping it now.) And last not least, I would really like to use this tool in Gimp 2.10 :-)
Version: git master
