I have major objections to these changes. Please revert them. The others are quite sensible, however.* Removed all selection copy/move/cut code. This just doesn't belong into an image viewer. * Selections are now changed using the tertiary mouse button, or when you press the command or control modifiers. Instead, the image will now be moved around with the left button.
Just because you think "clipboard operations just don't belong" in an image viewer, that doesn't mean that they have to be completely done away with. They don't add complexity to the application in a way which interferes with the main task. I also prefer that my image viewer allow me to perform simple tasks such as these. Although this could be said for your change with Invert earlier, it is an edge-case use. These, I would argue, are not -- especially copy.
In the major applications that I have used, the left mouse is for selecting and the middle is for moving. This is backwards and completely unacceptable.
Quite some time ago, I got into some (sometimes heated) discussions when I made usability changes arbitrarily without at least asking. Same goes here only I'm not the one making them.
We really need some sort of reasonably lightweight process for handling these kinds of changes.
