Hi,

I suggested that we make a list of changes for 2.2, so I sat down and
tried to come up with such a list. This list is not meant as the list
of things that need to go into 2.2 but it's a list of things that
could go into 2.2. A prerequisite for each item is that someone
volunteers to work on it. And of course the list is by no means
complete. Please send a mail if you want to see items added.


- GtkFileChooser
  (Mitch has patches for this)

- GtkAction
  (this could include doing a menu editor)
  (perhaps also address http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5673)

- customizable Toolbox
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105764

- text tool improvements
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122707
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125144
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102822

- new text PDB API
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124394

- improve font selection
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137624

- vectors PDB API
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129598
  (this would allow to move the SVG path import from the core to a
   plug-in)

- add a progessbar API that allows to embed plug-in progress bars
  in other dialogs (file selector, plug-in dialogs ...) 
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6010

- support the Recent File Storage Specification
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131206
  (this is a matter of implementing a well-defined spec)

- Provide a way to manage thumbnails
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137268
  (could be a standalone tool, got some code for it already)

- option to edit files from cmd line sequentially
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110242  
  (could have a look at how cinepaint does this)

- improve error reporting
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92604

- port print plug-in to newer libgimpprint
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127957

- add a preview widget for plug-ins
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52374

- Use pixbuf instead of tempbuf for preview rendering in the core.
  Some GimpViewables convert pixbufs to TempBuf. This could be
  improved.

- Improve usability of display filter modules. Save filter
  configuration in images. Allow to have default filters.

- Check if the TIFF plug-in from Kai-Uwe could replace our current
  TIFF plug-in.

- Improve color management. Support embedded color profiles, add a
  display filter that uses monitor profiles. Allow display filter
  modules to access image and gimp parasites.

- Finish gimp-console, the command-line GIMP app that is almost
  working already. Perhaps add a nice command-line interface for it.


If you query bugzilla and include enhancement requests, you will find
a lot more. I only included things that I think would be nice to have
and that can be implemented during a short release cycle. So please,
let us know if you want to work on one of these or if you have other
plans for 2.2.


Sven
