Hi Whomever is listening, I don't use The GIMP very much, but today I pulled out 2.8.2 (Ubuntu + MATE) so I could put some screenies together. 2 things hit me immediately:
- Firstly, I can't really use the toolbox anymore. This could be more specific to my system, but the top of the toolbox slides under my top panel. This is a more general problem with my system and certain applications after switching to MATE, so like I said .. it might be system specific. What may or may not be system specific is the bottom of the toolbox sliding off the bottom of the screen (768). The end result is .. I can only resize the toolbox horizontally, so the thing is just .. in the way of the whole screen height. - Secondly (and more importantly) it would seem that The GIMP is now enforcing that I use Ctrl + E to save my images, else it tries to get me to use XCF format. The problem with XCF format (for me at least) is that not everyone I work with uses The GIMP, hence I never use the XCF format. My instant reaction with any program while working is to frequently use Ctrl + S to save my current file to it's current location without further intervention. So essentially this functionality is .. well, not consistent with any other piece of software I've seen in the last 25 years. That's sort of my beef. I'm just a boring user of the software, so no doubt there are experts here that understand all of the advantages of the XCF and what wonderful things it can do for me. There's probably even some sort of config file I can change to set the application hotkeys to what I want! Unfortunately, I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out software, I just want to use it and have it work.
