While gimp in its development form is quite stable compared, you have gotten lucky and have not strayed from beaten path too much;) Ive lost at least once about 4h worth of painting to a crash ;) Crashes itself are not that big of an issue tho, they are easy to find and fix. There are more subtle ways a developer version can misbehave ruining your art. Crashes are easy to catch, unintended behavior in some cases can not. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
