Wow, I'm glad I asked. I didn't expect a result so quickly.
This is exactly what I was looking for, but the flow effect can be a little difficult to predict.
Where you click in a specific region effects where the fill will flow. With the same setting sometimes it will flow into more areas than other times. Sometimes "Small" flows further than "None".
Setting to "Large", and sometimes "Medium", will give the error "Area is not bounded, cannot fill" even when smaller settings work fine.
But, overall the tool works great.
Also, whilst I'm here, and I apologise if this is an issue that has already been explained, but is it possible for the fill tool to ignore the viewport and apply to an entire drawing at 1:1 ratio? I expect if it was that's the way it would work already, but I had to ask.

Some of the stuff I do with the calligraphy tool has gaps between sections I would like to colour. Visually the gaps don't bother me, but I can't use Flood Fill when the area isn't properly closed.
It would be nice there was a threshold where we could say that gaps of a certain size should be considered closed. I imagine it would be like a thickness to the paint where if it's very thick it can't flow through a small gap.
Hi. I just committed a change to Subversion that adds simple auto gap filling to Paint Bucket. You can change the gap sizes (small, medium, large) that it will fill using the dropdown in the toolbar when Paint Bucket is selected. Let me know how this works for you.
Thanks,
John
