Here are some comments to get us started: > I added some more ideas to the list on the wiki I think could be feasible as GSoC projects:
* Enhancing Painting with parameter curves Currently there are quite a few options to use with the paint tools, however, mapping how these options could vary with pressure, tilt, speed, angle of painting is somewhat limited. A complete tabbed dock, where new curves could be added that would map one input variable to paint option could increase several fold the options available to artists. A request for this is drafted in [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119240|bug #119240]. * Categories for brushes, fonts, gradients and palettes If one adds too many fonts or brushes to GIMP, they quickly become un-manageable through the existing UI. Implementing a way of organizing these resources in sub-categories, in a way that one resource could be present in more than one category (like thrugh the use of tags) in a nice UI could overcome these limitations; * Font Selector Widget We need something better. Something that is reusable. Something to turn choosing fonts into a pleasure, rather than a pain. Something to leave the competition on the dust. And I also came up with this idea, but did not add it to the wiki, because it certainl should have further consideration from the developers, more than the others, to get toeven a rughidea of what will be needed: * Layer Folders UI With the upcoming integration of GEGL, there finally will be internal support for layer grouping, even more than one level of it. Aide form the work on the core, we will need a good UI to be the evolution of the current layers dialog. If the GIMP will only allow nested layers, then this should be mroe or less trivial. If GIMP will allow full usage of GEGL, and allow the same layer to be used as source for multiple operations then we will need a brilliant UI. js -><- _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
