Why would this be preferable to having modes like dodge/burn inside brush tools? Maybe brush model and mode should be handled separately? A: The region/scope to work on - whole image - a layer/group/set - a selection - brush strokes as they happen B: Options for above - mainly brush model with parameters comes to mind C: The action or drawing mode to apply - transformations - filters - paint On power modes Sounds like a rather vague distinction, makes me wonder if is such a good idea to split the modes based on it. Shouldn't layer and paint modes be kept the same? dipping and smearing Considering GIMP is not and shall not be painter ... but this would be very nice especially for drawing from scratch ;) On versions and approaches I have been using layers for versioning, backup, too. It just works. Of course real, branched versioning would rock. How much I would like to see it everywhere. Maybe there's a chance of pushing part of the functionality out, so it can become part the environment and have a wider developer pool? Regarding adjustment layers and GEGL GEGL is graph based, somewhat comparable to the nodes in Blender, right? If so, the concept of a layer stack does not match GEGL. I would propose to go all nodes and have no layers, if the layer stack wouldn't match the common case so nicely. On window management I have been thinking: What if GIMP was represented by a window with just the main menu. Image windows could be dockable palettes. Requires docking side-by-side. For SDI style, one would dock one image window and the inspectors all to the main window. Several images could docked together to have tabs. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
