Hello to all gimp developers
Urgent Patch for extending gimp menus
(applies to gimpmenu.c and affacts
all menus where layers and/or channels
are selectable)
The Patch implements:
a) Invisible Layers can be optional supressed
(filtered out)
from all layers/channel menus
New gimprc Parameter:
gimpmenu-exclude-invisble "yes"
b) all layers/channels menus are presented in submenus for each Image
New gimprc Parameter:
gimpmenu-submenu-per-image "yes"
c) a Bugfix for PDB-Procedure "gimp_gimprc_query"
without that bugfix, the query will
not find all the known tokens
(such as "show_tool_tips", "monitor_xres",
... and my new ones )
Both features are useful when working on Animations
where you may have many Images
or Images with many layers open at one time.
Using the original code of gimpmenu.c the
layers/channels List in the optionmenus
often gets longer than your screen's height
and there is no chance to reach all
entries with the mouse.
The patches can be found
at the plugin-registry:
http://registry.gimp.org/detailview.phtml?plugin=gimpmenu_patch
On my homepage you can find the same patches
for gimp-1.1.8 plus versions for gimp 1.1.5 and 1.0.4
in one (bigger) tar file

(on my on my gimp-page:
http://pages.hotbot.com/arts/hof/index.html
in the chapter "Some useful Patched Sources")
I use these features since last year and ported them
for some of the gimp-1.1.x releases, because they
are essential for Users of the GIMP's Animation

capabilities.
(I have talked to Sven about this features
some time ago, but then it was forgotten
for a long time)
The (hopefully) last port was done for gimp-1.1.8
on 1999/09/02.
Please can one of the gimp-developers help
to add these features to the CVS before
the feature freeze is on ?
(i have no access to the CVS,
because a firewall does not
permit acces to hosts outside
our company)
Yours, Wolfgang Hofer <hof@xxxxxxxxxx>
