Hi, it's a week since the last report from the development branch, so I thought you'd be waiting for an update. Let's see what has happened... Mitch added an option to clear the Undo history. May be useful if you are running out of memory. This was requested in bug #136300. I've added the possibility to set the "keep-above" window manager hint for the toolbox and the dock windows (bug #131672). I started to HIG-ify the core dialogs. So far I've changed all frames to use the GimpFrame widget and I did the most important changes to the spacings in the dialogs. Since we decided to also change the label alignment, more work will be needed here. The main dialogs should probably all be reviewed. The File->New dialog (or actually the GimpTemplateEditor) is the only one so far that has undergone some more significant changes. Maurits and Brix joined the HIG-ification effort and started to work on plug-in dialogs. Mitch added a new scheme for registering menu entries from plug-ins. The new scheme is backward-compatible to the old API but it has some advantages over the old scheme. First of all, a plug-in can now register multiple menu entries for the same procedure. It registers the procedure once and gives it a name. This is represented internally as a GimpPlugInAction. Then the plug-in can register this action to the menus, in multiple places if it likes to. Combined with the placeholder feature of GtkUIManager this allows to have plug-ins in the "core" menus and in the Filters menu. This should allow us to choose more intuitive menu locations for our plug-ins. I've changed the unit system to allow pixels as an image unit. The image statusbar now has a nice little unit combobox next to the display of the cursor coordinates. The image unit can be conveniently changed from here. Some dialogs, most notably the "Scale" dialog, still need to be changed accordingly. The widget that I added for the statusbar unit selector is a prototype of a replacement widget for GimpUnitMenu. Will probably move it to libgimpwidgets later. Right now it's missing some features though. Mitch started to make the toolbox configurable. Needs code to save and load these settings as well as a more untuitive GUI. I guess you can expect this to work when I'll send the next status report... Sven
