Bug reports (in the proper place, i.e. bugzilla.gnome.org) are always welcome, especially if they describe specific error scenarios, that have not been reported earlier, that can be easily reproduced even with some relatively simple app like gtk-demo without requiring running a complex one like GIMP. Sure, I certainly am well aware that the maintainers of GTK+ on Windows (i.e. myself and a couple of others, in our "copious spare time") are not as responsive to bug reports as some users seem to expect. That doesn't mean we would ignore the reports, though. > Are you sure that the situation is as you describe it? You mean when I said "It is pointless to describe the misbehaviour of GIMP windows on Windows to GIMP developers, as they don't use Windows themselves." ? That depends on who is counted as a GIMP developer, but at least currently, the people who understand GIMP best and actively work on GIMP don't use Windows. (This means something like two to four people, in their spare time, in case you have the unfortunate common misconception that there would be a large number of GIMP developers.) Personally I do use Windows, and I am to some extent a (or even "the") maintainer of GTK+ and GLib on Windows, but currently I am sorry to say that I don't really have the resources or inspiration to work much on GIMP. I would love to, in principle. > Sorry, but I find this attitude as misplaced as one in the previous > paragraph... I am just stating what I see being the factual situation. It's not a question of "attitude". You mean the (de-facto active) GIMP developers have "an attitude" when they don't bother to use Windows? --tml _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
