The basic point is that this message is great if there is an indexed element in the image, otherwise it's clutter and we could prefer to avoid displaying this for non indexed images. It's often the case that image is non indexed. > I also don't follow your other suggestions: > >> c/affect channels and masks only/only affect separate colour channels >> and transparency masks/ > > We should probably change it to say "layer masks" since that's what we > use throughout the user interface.

I thought this was a reference to RGB colour channels and alpha transparency. If these terms have another established meaning in the interface that's fine. layer masks would be clearer, if you think "channel" is unambiguous no need to change that term. corrected suggestion: c/affect channels and masks only/only affects channels and layer masks/ dont display on non indexed images. /gg _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
