Hi Alexandre and everybody else >In the two or more years that we've been having this discussion noone >has demonstrated the ability to
as you might know, I'm providing GIMP builds for Mac OS X for the last few years on http://gimp.lisanet.de Just as a proof of concept I've patched all of my current builds (since 2.8.6) and provided such a switch. >1) implement such a switch; I did. >2) maintain a project containing such a switch; I maintain it since 2.8.6, up to now and will do it as long as I offer packages for Mac OS X.

I patched GIMP an implemented such a switch. And no, I' not incapable of maintaining. I do it since then. >up to date with all the bugfixes we've had since releasing 2.8.0.

Sorry, but in my eyes you've just lost all your credibility. hhhmm, well, IMO he did _not_ loose his credibility because I did implement such a feature and maintain it since then. Please Alexandre, don't get me wrong. I don't want to offend you, I only want to show, even if my patch might not cover every aspect and every wish of every user, that it's not too complicated to implement such a feature. It can be done quite easily and IMO it's only a matter if one wants to code it or not not code it. Finally, I hope I don't get banned from the webpage, because of this right-out-of-hell-patch I did, and that I still can contribute code and patches to GIMP.
