The GUI needs to be consistent. Why not stick to three basic things: tools, filters, and scripts. The tools should all be in the Gimp main window as buttons (or maybe only partially in "beginner mode" if we do the config/skin thing, sounds good to me btw, ICQ has it too for example), and the filters should be in Image->Filters, scripts would go into Image-Scripts. These should then be subdivided into logical groups, from the user side, not from the programmer side. The user doesn't care if a script was written in Perl or in Scheme, he cares about what it does to his image. The unobvious things can stay, but please, keep them as hidden functionality for power users, not as the only possible way to do it. Lourens
