The Fill Patterns popup and Patterns docker allow you to select patterns. It would be handy if they also offered a few simple options to configure the pattern, similar to those available when selecting a texture to use with the pixel brush: - Scale - Invert? - X and Y offset When filling whole layers with a pattern, a workaround can be achieved by scaling, translating or inverting the layer after filling. If filling a contiguous area (bucket tool), it's a whole lot more complicated to get a correctly scaled pattern fill. Reproducible: Always
Ack. That makes a lot of sense.
