ah, another thing you forget is how attractive i found the linux developers with their "rtfm" approach and sound logic and their willingness to express this and provide examples in a very direct fashion. so please, did you not have some good ideas for making the texttool better. i read the first three words of each of those sentences and was quite excited to see you make the app work again and not answer questions from a tester with no real purpose for the gimp. i have this memory of a developer who only wasted time with things that made sense and one of the nice things about the gimp is having to learn how graphics and computers work to make it work. there is nothing wrong with an application that is able to do what you are asking it to do. and someone who through things through enough to say "rtfm" because everything you need is there and well written and not wasting time typing blather to explain how gimp works is more fun. let dave neary answer this, inventing answers is a good thing for a tester with no real goals. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
