Package: gimp Version: 2.0.6-1 Severity: wishlist
Hi. I am using the screenshot dialogue of GIMP frequently to shoot windows of applications. In most cases editing is not required after shooting. Thus, the necessity to load the full GIMP application is pretty annoying. Also, the standard GNOME screenshot utility is very basic. Considering the solutions for scanners (or rather scanner software like XSane) that is included as a plugin, I suggest to extract GIMP's screenshot dialogue as separate utility that could nevertheless be loaded together with the main application -- as plugin. Advantages: You could use it the same way as the standard GNOME screenshot utility or other "snap-shooters" whithout having to load the full GIMP. I guess it would load much faster. It offers far more options than the GNOME standard. It could be included as a quick access icon somewhere in menues, on the toolbars or the desktop. Disadvangtages: Amount of work to extract it as a plugin/separate utility?
