1.05 will add an eraser function to drawing elements. We have two options for the implementation, and would like some feedback from FG users on the issue.
The first option is lasso like erasing, which would work like the mask reveal tool does currently, except you would lasso a section of the image and all drawings in that area would be erased. The pros are quick usage and better control (especially when using the mouse). The con would be that some people who are used to paint programs might find this weird.
The second option is traditional eraser tool like behaviour, where you draw strokes on the drawing and marks below the stroke disappear. The pro is that it's what most drawing programs do, the cons that setting up the size of the eraser might be a bit painful especially since you want to do it quickly more often than not or with maps with varying scales, and the fact that covering a larger area is more difficult this way.
Which one would you prefer? Also, if you have more grounds this way or that, please tell us.
