The major advantage is completely and 100% WYSIWYG text editing. However, if you prefer the separate text-editing window, just enable the "Use text editor" checkbox in the tool's options. -- Stratadrake strata_ranger@xxxxxxxxxxx -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
