We are very much open to your ideas, but you arent offering an idea, you are compaining about a change with myriad of user ideas, reasons, discussions and idea processing behind it, and reitating all those arguments just to convince you is just not doable. Aslo, I personaly belive GIMP is too big of a codebase to just accept anything more than simple bug fixes as hit and run patches. Everything else needs a bit more commitment than clobering up a patch without much discussion or understanding of the big picture and expecting it to land in master for everybody else to maintain. > Maybe someone come soon and enforce his own vision > irreversibly destroying your work, then you will understand what I was > talking about. This happens all the time when we discuss gimp development and direction. With different perspectives, disagreements are inevtable. I've had ideas crushed and patches thrown out or found unsuitable, but something is always learned, some perspective cleared and progress made. And finally just a general thought: To have a conversation you need to be willing to listen as well as talk. -- Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
