Hi, dneary@xxxxxxx (2006-04-18 at 1004.27 +0200): > I had some ideas: > - Scripting languages and the GIMP - work on ruby or python bindings What is missing in python one? About more langs... well, it is nice, but it is also nice to have things that are completly finished instead of many half done. > - Plug-ins: Save for web for example (too small to be a project, but > could be part of one) - Reorg the save workflow so there is only the save dialog and then the "per format" dialog, which should include the current export (flatten or save current drawable or as anim, apply masks or discard, etc) and format details (compression, comments, sampling ratio...). > - Effect layers - I think this is fairly straightforward with the GIMP > as it is, it's a nice chunk of a project, and would be a nice feature > for users If you mean what PS calls adjustment layers, we were talking about this and layer groups in IRC yesterday. Running filters could be a bit more tricky (what about multiple drawable input?) specially as some are way slower than composing a bunch of layers in a slight different order than current (groups) and with other extra formulas (adj) that are still per pixel. > - Vector layers (or replace GFig plug-in by Inkscape plug-in?) Layers sounds better as it allows "in line" work. Related would be: Non ortogonal guide system, useful for perspective works. Which could then be grouped to: - Integrate the paths more into the system (vlayers, snap to vectors, auto fill and stroke after changes...) and increase the tools they provide (polygons, circles, "sun rays" shape for perspective...), instead of just being something you load to and save from selections or use a helper for stroking. > - Tools - shapes, intelligent eraser? If you have vectors, and shapes means "make rectangle", shapes becomes a bit mot, as it is non editable. - Improved brush system: make system use pixmaps and svg as source for the editable brushes (instead of some geometrical shapes only), better interpolation of strokes (specially mouse), randomization of all kind of aspects (position, size, colour, opacity...), pressure curve remapping for tablets and full strokes, editable settings for GIH (while loaded, no save and refresh "dance"), make airbrush behave more airbrushy ... - Healing tool: like clone tool with extra steps and special blend mode. A different thing: - Improve the save session support. Currently dock order and other details are remembered. Remembering dettached menus and open/close of expander widgets would be nice too, so would be values for plugins.
