David, as far as filters are concerned, I'd strongly, and that means __strongly__, suggest you to use keyboard shrotcuts to get to your filters. Yes, stopping ytour work to configure keyboard shortcuts is a major pita, and that is why most people donṫ do it in any software, even knowing it is possible. However, GIMP has setup a unique feature that was once available to all GTK+ applications: dynamic keyboard shortcuts. Just enable these once in preferences, and you will never again have to selct a single filter in the thrid menu level more than once. The tooltip on the edit->preferences->interface option that enable these shortcuts is self explanatory. As for layer combination modes...Martin, is there any clean way of allowiyng setting keyboard shortcuts to layer combiantion modes? That ḋ be a nice feature to have. js -><- > David _______________________________________________Gimp-developer mailing listGimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
