Too small (except on a 30" single display. 5 LCD monitors is not a situation in which I can reasonably imagine you would want to use single-window mode; feel free to contradict me if you have experience with this.) There are no relevant GTK+ limitations. However I understand that with the current GUI setup of GIMP, horizontal splits like |IMG|IMG| are easier to implement in terms of visual organization. > > For cloning you only need a tiny part of the source visible... This is only true IMO if the source auto-scrolls as you clone. Otherwise, especially when you need to be reasonably precise, you may need a relatively large display (for example, 150x150 area @ 300% zoom = 450x450) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
