Re: [Gimp-developer] Peter's single-window proposal (Was: We should go for a single-window mode in 2.8)

Personally, for me who I'm into drawing and digital painting (rather than photo retouching) I can think of these reasons: - For multiple views of the same image at different zooms at the same time. It's useful to have a zoomed window for detail work and then a more extended view in order check often how the whole drawing / painting looks. - To have one or more images as reference to copy / get inspired by. - To tests brushes, mix colors or trying anything else without affecting the original image. -- SHIRAKAWA Akira ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

It's how you dock the windows together that gives the user the *perceived* single-window or multiple-window mode. I'm still thinking GIMP could benefit from Eclipse-style perspectives, where which dialogs are visible and which are hidden are user-defined sets that can be switched between. The user can then define which dialogs are useful for certain commonly occurring tasks and quickly switch between them. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you understand the paradigm you never want to go back to managing individual windows.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Where to post rotate brushes bugfix?
Thanks for the replies everyone. I've just uploaded to bugzilla a patch that fixes the remaining issue introduced by the first bugfix patch. This patch needs to be applied after the first one. It seems to work fine now. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596472 Regards, Tal -Original Message- From: ta...@inbox.com Sent: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 12:42:29 -0800 To: gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu Subject: [Gimp-developer] Where to post rotate brushes bugfix? I found and solved a new bug in the bilinear rotate transform algorithm that sometimes caused artifacting on brush edges for brushes rotated 90, -90, -180, 180 degrees. Since the previous bugzilla report http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520078 is marked as fixed, what is the best way to proceed and submit the patch? Should I upload the patch to the existing 520078 bug report or is it worth creating a new bug report just for this bugfix?

I also tend to combine this workflow with others you have already listed. is this 'compare and reference' as fully covered by the polaroids? In some cases it might, but in many it does not. The lack of items such as the rulers, etc. tends to slow me down when I'm constructing something. My impression is that the polaroids are an improvement for inspired by work, such as I often see designers hash out. Using a reference in my thinking brings a little more of the technical/accuracy aspect such as measurements with the ruler, etc. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

In my personal preference, Eclipse's perspectives are an interesting idea but one that is implemented somewhat poorly. Even after using it for years I still find it a very clumsy and inefficient implementation. A recent example of some of my bad experience was when I was coding and debugging some Java while working on both BIRT and Crystal reports. That's four different perspectives I had to try to work in. The UI gave poor switching and tracking of the current mode, and there were even technical problems where they fought over keys and killed shortcuts in each other. Quite painful. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
