I would love to see more bug and functionality fixes than new tools personally. Being more of an editor than a creator, I seem to use gimp in a different way than the core team is aiming for, as is expressed by the 2.10 Unified transformation tool. That doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to trying it. I still use gimp almost every day for hours on end, so core functionality is paramount. My biggest request would be fixing the new cairo based path engine. I've considered moving back to 2.6 many times as the new engine has many bugs, (http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Path-Tool-Problems-td40365.html#a40411) and really slows me down from what I was used to. Also having the new on canvas text options window follow the view when zooming and panning instead of locked in place to the top left of the text. These come to mind the most. As far as new features... True path intersections (combine without overlaps) Any implementation to select multiple path nodes. Option to merge paths to new path while leaving originals untouched. (Modifier key) Path transformations without having to use path to selection. Rotatable guides. Drop layers on tab thumbs. Tab ordering via Drag & Drop Gui or folder based system to arrange scripts and plugins into the menu. Layer styles Remember all popup window positions (tools, scripts, etc..) Built in resource manager that remembers brush tags Scaling an image keeps text data. (Or at least a way to know what the font was before text info discarded. (Append font name to layer-name?)) Dockable Script-Fu and Python-Fu consoles many more..... :P I would be thrilled to see any of these implemented, but honing what we already have is even more important IMO. I realize a lot of these features have been discussed in detail before and will never be implemented, but this is a "Wish" list. Regardless, I hope your endeavor takes off and encourages more of the same. It would help development of gimp pick up pace substantially. Thank you for taking the plunge. akovia -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different... _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
