Suggestion for "Until Active Layer" English translation

[photoken]

Some of the tools have a Source option (in English) that was initially confusing to me: "Until Active Layer". After some experimenting, I confirmed that this means the source is all layers beneath the active layer.

Perhaps the English version would be better translated as "Below Active Layer" or "Beneath Active Layer".

The tools using this source option are:

• Copy brush
• Healing brush
• Patch tool
• Remove brush

No, the source includes the active layer as well, so "below" and "beneath" don't fit either.

What about "up to active layer"?

Ah, I missed that.

How about "Active Layer & Below" ?

Added:
I modified the strings file and found that the "&" character won't work, so I'm using "Active Layer and Below".

Just for the heluvit, instead of translating, I thought about using symbols:

Code: Alles auswählen

// DrawCopyTool
"20059" = "Merged Copy";	//IDS_DRAWCOPY_COPYMERGED
"20060" = "Keep Distance";	//IDS_DRAWCOPY_CONSTDISTANCE
"20061" = "Preview Copy";	//IDS_DRAWCOPY_SHOWCONTENT
"20062" = "Source Layer ↔";	//IDS_DRAWCOPY_SOURCE_LAYER
"20063" = "Active Layer ↓";	//IDS_DRAWCOPY_UNTIL_ACTIVE_LAYER
"20064" = "All Layers ↕";		//IDS_DRAWCOPY_ALL_LAYERS

Those Unicode arrows are kind of nice, and work well in the UI:

• Source Layer ↔
• Active Layer ↓
• All Layers ↕

I really like that. Good idea.

Not sure. These arrows are barely visible and easily overlooked, compared to the following arrow indicating the drop-down menu (at least on OS X). Since the entry needs to be short, I'd prefere "Active and below", even if it's not fully visible.
