Impatience is not a good reason :) In this case i'm ready to bet 100 Euro that till now any bundled or even third party script or plugin has Van Gogh as a dependency, i see most on replies are focused on the general matter But this IS a big exception, it is a insult to the Gimp product vision that such filter is ,after 14 years that nobody use , and not because is too complex but because is too crappy to be used More 1)from 14 years this filter is misplaced in a totally wrong gimp menu (Artistic submenu in filter but the filter has nothing to do with a artistic filter Would fit better in a RENDER menu 2)IT is misnamed the effect has nothing to do with Van Gogh, or any other painter,nothing to do with a paint or draw effects. Obviously 1 is consequence of 2, since was misnamed as "Van Gogh" somebody tough was a artistic filter, so ended up to be not only in gimp by mistake for 14 years but also from 14 years mislabelled and misplaced And no i will not report to bugzilla because as no bug to be reported It is impossible prove that doesn't work properly since is impossible guess what should do The only BIG bug to report is the fact that such thingy is still in Gimp PS If has to be preserved till 3.0 i may hope at least to be relabelled,moved in the right submenu and with a more descriptive tooltip ? as example CRAPPYFIER -tooltip_ this filter will replace all the pixels of your image with crap -- photocomix (via gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
