Well, yes. A rectangle with a pattern fill isn't an image. Images can be converted to vector objects by tracing. Vector objects are already vector objects. Perhaps "Trace Bitmap" could be generalized if it did a hidden "Make Bitmap Copy" on the current selection before tracing. (Hidden meaning that the bitmap copy would be done in memory and not actually added to the document.)
That's a great idea. This way we could even trace vector objects :) Which might even make artistic sense - to introduce the characteristic distortions, etc.
But at what resolution to make this copy? Current zoom? Or some standard fixed resolution?
maybe a gpu sniffer for the resolution of its settings?
The resolution of the image has a huge effect on the speed of the tracer. I'd expect that some sort of "resample" slider wouldn't go unappreciated even for images. This would allow a user to trace a high resolution graphic at a lower resolution (ie much more quickly). Ability to adjust the rendering resolution may also give more artistic control.

Yes, yes, yes. This would be greatly appreciated if it could be worked out! Daniel Culver danielculver@...107...
