Hi, I think it's about time to start to discuss what features we still want to get into GIMP 2.2. We are targetting a feature freeze by the end of the month and a release shortly after, so it's probably about time... I'd like to collect a list of changes what we want to see being done for 2.2. We will need people to pick up these tasks and finish them in the next weeks. I will make a start by listing some of the things that I think would be great to finish for 2.2. Please add your wishes and/or take responsibility for some of these tasks. If you want to go into detail about a task that is listed below, please create a new thread for it so we can use this thread for collecting ideas. Scale/Resize dialogs We definitely need to redo these. The changes to the File->New dialog and to the internal unit handling make it necessary to make at least some smaller changes to these dialogs. Tigert and Jimmac have done mockups, we should look at these mockups again and see what we can do. Text tool improvements I will try to finish some of the stuff that has been scheduled for 2.0 already, namely text transformations, perhaps text outline and text boxes. I can't promise that all of these will get done though. Plug-in preview David Odin is almost done with porting all plug-ins to GimpPreviewArea but we might consider to go further and actually get GimpPreview into libgimp*. I have some ideas about this and David seems to have the time and the enthusiam to help with coding. We should definitely try to get at least closer to a full-featured preview for plug-ins. Color management This has been discussed quite thoroughly but it still needs to be written down in some sort of specification and then been cut down into tasks. Layer positioning/alignment Jimmac made a nice mockup for a dialog that would help with aligning layers. There's also a new plug-in in Bugzilla that deals with the same problem but I don't like it that much. This needs some discussion, shouldn't be too hard to implement then. It's IMO very important though. This list doesn't include tasks that have already been started but need further work (like for example the input controllers) since they aren't really affected by the feature freeze. Sven
