That way, the pepper, sun, wine brushes could go under a "bitmap" tag, but have no "default" tag attached. That would also make it easier to display just the wanted gradients - several of the gradients shipped with GIMP are used in tiny-fu scripts. (as for the pepper per se, my personal opinion: I have no problem at all with it going away. I have _one_ "real" use for it: it helps me to locate the pixel brush, since it is next to it in alphabetical order. The "pixel" brush should, IMHO, be tagged "pixel" by default, so it can be found with less keystrokes) js -><- _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
