GIMP could definitely learn from that -- for example, a quick improvement that could be made to DockBooks is, bringing a tab to the front as it's moused-over (with some minimum hover time before switching to prevent accidents.) I'd rather not have that kind of "auto-raise", but there's a Firefox extension named "Tab Scope" that shows previews (pop-up thumbnails) of a tab when the tab is moused over. That is very useful. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
