No, I'm not suggesting that we dispose of the context menu. I'm saying the menu at the top is also important, and it is important that it is completely there even when the image is small, especially the "help", which is the first menu item to disappear for small images. My point is that we can do a lot of trivial things to make GIMP simpler for first time users and gain some respect if we don't flame everyone who tries to tell us these things. Rather than just thinking about how easy it is for us to use the GIMP, think about how easy it is to introduce new users to it and get them excited about it! We can be a bit kinder in how we handle people who are trying to be helpful. Just saying, "Thanks for the input, but please get the new version before posting, as many of your concerns have been fixed or are in the queue. In the meantime, please continue this discussion on the gimp-user mailing list" or something to that effect. We can choose take this as an opportunity to improve, or we can take it as yet another newbie trying to get technical support from the developer mailing list (I don't remember any request for support, just providing info. about first impressions) Mahalo, _-T ________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand.
