There is about 4 active developers on GIMP right now, plus 2 GSoC students with their projects. This is a lot. We usually hover around two and half. And nobody is in threat of leaving, because nobody seems to be arguing your side. That's lucky, because theres a lot of work to be done before 2.8. The really important stuff like SWM etc. Your assumption that the layer mode thing is in any way as important as keeping images looking the same from one version to another is almost funny. I filed a bug about this... But I filed it because GEGL did it DIFFERENTLY. As only GIMP user for me the expected behavior of the color mode is the current one. I have several compositions and artworks that rely on it. Your statement of suggesting people not to upgrade if they need it is cynical at best. Not everybody is an administrator of the machine they use and they cannot control what versions others they share the files have. All school and non-creative corporate environments for example, and GIMP is common there, because its near impossible to justify buying PS and companies/schools cant afford pirating. If blurring color is so important to you there are several plug-ins that do this by splitting the image to lab and blurring the appropriate layers. -- Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
