-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Julien, thanks for your thoughts about the structure of the reference section. In general I agree with you. With only one difference: The tools, as well as the dialogs[1] have a much more important than any command to show or hide rulers. Therefore I think they should not be placed at the very end of the part (as in your suggestion), but instead moved out of the pure menu structure and put at the very beginning of the reference part. Greetings, lexA [1] A dialog in GIMP is defined roughly as anything that is dockable. So, the dialog windows that pop up when you're saving a file or applying a filter are not dialogs for that definition. Am 12.02.2007 um 07:59 schrieb julien: > You are right.

WD-40, for when something doesn't move, and should, and Duct Tape, for when something is moving and it shouldn't. So does the universe explode if you spray duct tape with WD-40? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFF12/YR9mXLVsAbiQRAt15AKDd2bJAKGzOtDuCBb3sD5H/LHpeowCeLjQJ dYxj3UzYmDftYqoJloCF9g8= =cByJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
