I don't say that I agree with that, but that is from the UI redesign wiki: http://gui.gimp.org/index.php/GIMP_UI_Redesign#product_vision If we follow what's listed there then GIMP isn't a tool for generating/editing html code with graphics and stuff.

I don't agree with some of the product vision points as stated in the UI redesign wiki and by some developers (for example that GIMP is meant mainly for high end users and less for "simple" users - as we discussed on IRC yesterday), but I do agree on this point. GIMP is an image editining/authoring tool and not a web tool for coding and designing websites. >> I don't want overcomplicated interfaces just to get more features > > What makes you think this would be overcomplicated? Expirience taught me that lots of features *usually* mean more complicated interfaces. Let's hope that I'm wrong and we can keep the interface simple if/when we add this =) ~LightningIsMyName _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
