Someone did it... but failed to fulfill completly your prophecy this time, it seems they are already providing working code. ;] http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ Personally, I am pretty much tired of all the UI/change name/cosmetic games, as what I see is lack of some interesting (oh, maybe I should had said useful, otherwise the chat will spread even more into "that is not needed" "yes it is" blah blah) features... yeah, other apps have them, no, having those features does not mean copying the other apps like a photocopier, yes, there a lots of bug reports filed or people at least know about them (compositor graph, real media paint tools, high bit depths...), and yes, it will probably make GIMP less simple, but things can be streamlined to have no more complexity than the necessary, no, there are no people working on it heavily, yes, there is a sense of lack of staff and scaring away new people with "new" ideas... see, the same rants over and over again. Boring. It would be nicer if all these mails were about testing better paint tools or 100+ layer images files (over 500MB memory usage) as I have a stuck image that fits, and catching webs cos every time I look at it, I wonder how I managed to get there, and then decide I am not in masochist mood so move to something else. :] I just remembered I had a small shot of the image in which one can guess the layer stack size (yes, that is 1.2, last sessions were in different machines, some had 2.x and one was still going with 1.2): http://www.infernal-iceberg.com/gimp/tmp/hs129-layers-and-miniview.png GSR _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
