Still committing the name change would not be a bad move since David has coded it. You've said you were very frustrated about not getting 2.4 out yet. May I gently make the point that if you could be a little more flexible in accepting others contributions even if not _exactly_ the way you would chose for it to be done you would get more contributions and contributers. Maybe you dont realise how frustrating and demoralising it is to put in time to come up with improvements, code and submit patchs only to see them bounced. It really leaves one with the feeling "why did I bother?". Clearly you're not going to accept everything anyone comes up with but everyone needs to find thier motivation for contributing to OSS. I think this often means fixing an personal annoyance or adding a feature we'd like to see. Getting things refused without a what seems to be a firm reason is disheartening and removes the motivation to make further contributions. Please don't take that the wrong way , it's just something you may like to consider that could help the project gain momentum. regards, gg/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
