Well, this is not exactly a top-10 list because some of them have sub-cases, but hopefully you can get something out of this list. I tried to order this with the most important first. 1) (by far) Single window interface, a.k.a. MDI. Note that there are two cases (Window-in-window MDI and Tabbed MDI) that are probably mutually exclusive. Each option has its advantages and drawbacks, and each has its supporters who usually reject the other proposal: 1a) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379 1b) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121087 2) Adjustment layers http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79025 3) Layer trees or layer groups http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86337 4) Avoid popup dialogs for tools, file plug-ins, etc. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85579 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319963 5) Organize brushes, palettes, gradients... in categories http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119874 ...and make it possible to delete or hide the default ones http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118742 6) Save for web http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98017 7) Better printing support (colors, one image on multiple pages, multiple images per page, ...) 8) Improvements to the text tool 8a) Support for multiple styles (font, size, color, ...) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122706 8b) Applying transformations on text http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125144 8c) Text along path http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169616 8d) Adjustable letter spacing http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331952 9) Painting with "natural brushes" / simulate natural media http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65118 I probably forgot some, but I suppose that you will get several lists so you can have fun merging them. Note that I did not list several frequently requested features that have only a minor impact on the user interface, such as support for 16-bit colors (as you mentioned), support for spot colors, better color profiles, better metadata support, etc. -Raphaël _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
