People who create original art(painters for example) work mostly on single canvas with lots of docks on the sides using tab to show and hide them. this is no less valid use-case than yours. I would even argue, that your usecase is quite rare, because you hover between one and may images. Photo manipulation use-case as a rule assumes several documents open at all times and photo-correction usually just the one. > In another RFE to the bug tracker, I suggested to move tabs to the > left, instead of to the top.

I personally feel that my horizontal space is much more cramped than vertical if I want to keep visible the few essential docks I need. It's so cramped that I usually end up with a barely square or even slightly portrait work area. The tab bar is also seen as a transitory feature. In the future the tab bar will be replaced by "image parade" concept and its quite possible its position and size will be customizable... --Alexia _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
