I think it would improve the usability a lot.. > Yes, me too!! ;-) Actually the reason I've put GAP into CVS was that I think it is a very useful extension to The GIMP that needs a more comfortable GUI. My hope was that someone would take this as an interesting project to work on... IMHO the GAP should be implemented ( GUI-wise ) as a seperate tool. There could be one menu entry to start the GAP console that comes with a VCR interface to switch frames and a whole bunch of possible actions (more or less the Video-Menu we have now). An approach like this would make working on animations more easy and at the same time hide the animation stuff from the main GIMP interface where it confuses the user who wants to do still image manipulation. Having said that, I must admit that I don't have the time to work on this, but probably someone else feels choosen?? Salut, Sven
