I just upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 and noticed a couple of changes in gimp 2.8 that seemed really annoying to me.
First, why is the save feature only applying to gimp file formats? What was the motivation behind this besides being different, which seems like justification enough in the open-source UI world? Was there a problem with people accidentally losing their layers and this is to force them to use xcf files now? It only alienates people who are used to using Ctrl-S to save images. I know you lose information flattening a scene to png, but was that a huge gripe users had previously and now this will force them to save xcfs? It seemed to work fine for years in the same way photoshop has. It's the exact same dialog. Was this really a developer consensus or just some feature that someone said why not? Just curious. Second, it seems the text tool has been refactored a bit. Now when I go to type text, it has a fixed size of 18 pixels. If I raise this amount, and select the text in the text box again, the number reverts back to 18 and I get small text. What's going on here? Is there a different workflow now for selecting that number? Thanks. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
