Dmitry wanted to have a mail to show what I'm doing.<br>
<br>So for now I have changed pixel and vector selection to use a grayscale with no alpha channel instead of the current alpha colorspace. I have also fixed the marching ants to work with that.<br>
<br>The biggest problem currently is that in most parts we assume the non-selected parts to be transparent. Now the default pixel of the selection isn't transparent anymore which means that extent() will fallback to use KisDefaultBounds and often return an pratically infinite rect. I'm think about adding a parameter to extent() and the other methods to optionally not use default bounds here.<font color="#888888"></font><br clear="all">

I don't think adding a parameter will make things better. I guess it'll make the things even worse. Because in such a case you will not be able to process any selection having defaultPixel() not completely black. An example: after a select all call we can create a selection with default pixel equal to white (opaque); the real extent() of such device will be empty rect. But the extent for the processing -- image->bounds(). So as a solution I think the best way is to tell the colorspace to return alpha()==grayChannel(). In such a way the defaultBounds mechanism would be activated and all non-transparent pixels would be processed.<br>
