Hello,
I'd like ALL GIMP windows (typicaly one named "GIMP", window "Layers",
window "Brushes", window with edited images etc.) to be brought to the
front (of other non-GIMP windows), when an arbitrary of them is selected
(e.g. via Alt+Tab) or clicked on.
This behaviour seems to me better as you don't have to click each GIMP
window. When you select any GIMP window, it probably means you want to
work with GIMP overall, i.e. you need to see image windows, layer
window... simply all opened GIMP windows at the same moment.
Imagine you use Alt+Tab to switch between applications. When working
with GIMP, you temporarily switch to another application, and when you
want to restore ALL previous GIMP windows, you have to select them each
one after other!
Suggested feature should be eventually conditioned by a switch in the
User Preferences dialog box.
As I've written this motif to bugzilla first (thinking that was the
right place), I've got an answer: "That's already implemented in trunk,
at least for sane window managers."
As only MS Win user, I'm no judge of how other window managers work.
In case of WinXP (and probably MS Win in general): All [parent
dependent] windows created with a special creation flag (maybe WS_CHILD
or WS_TOOLWINDOW window style in WinAPI, see e.g. MSDN for
CreateWindowEx() function) are automatically brought to the top. If they
don't have such creation flag, behaviour described above must be
implemented another way.
Thank you.
Best regards,
LuP
