I've actually seen "in the wild" a script-fu fork that would add options for explicitliy creating widget columns. AFAIK, author of that have never contacted the GIMP developers - let me google around to try and find it -
Ah, here - someone had actually hacked the Python-fu to allow greater control of the generated UI: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9378 And as for script-fu,a couple of days ago, someone made a scroolbar enabled version - this is such a straightforward workaround for UI's getting larger than the screen that maybe it could be considered a bug-fix and go into gimp-2.8: http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9824 (disclaimer: I had not tried either, just saw the screenshots) js -><- On 2 March 2014 10:07, Crazy Aunt Gail's, LLC <g...@crazyauntgail.com> wrote: > While GnuTux was working on his patch, I was investigating the possibility of > a tabbed approached.
