Woo -- there's now USD $23.97 behind the project of adding a loupe: http://www.fossfactory.org/project/p132 I'd like to see a stub Loupe Tool in the GIMP ... if the user selectsthe tool, their browser is sent to the above page. This could be done for other often-requested features. If the featureappears in the menu, but just points to a URL, then there is a quickway for users to indicate their desire for the feature, and even put $behind their desire. When the feature is implemented, it replaces thelink to the FOSS Factory page. This needn't be FOSS Factory -- obviously Bugzilla is the canonicalcollection of feature requests, and a link to funding-oriented sitescan go in the Bugzilla comments. Bugzilla would of course need a slight enhancement, to count thenumber of users who hit the page from inside GIMP, and ensure thatthey don't post a ME TOO comment. It seems to me that this would help to prioritize Bugzilla featurerequests based on the usage of all users, rather than just the vocalones, as it is now.
