I have found your comments on another list which I occasionally read to usually be relevant. But this sounds like trolling: "Give up gimp and move to kde". I have no great love for most gnome applications, but I can still build gimp (on my xfce system) without many dependencies. Compare that to kde (specifically, kf5) where a metric shed-load of packages need to be installed. I typically build development (temporary) desktop systems every couple of months, and the churn needed for building kf5 is unmanageable. I'm sorry to see this list go, but when I need help I'll either post on pixels.us (most of my gimp usage is for photo-manipulation) or subscribe to https://discourse.gnome.org/ ĸen -- Greater love hath no woman for the premiership than to lay down the life of her bosom friend in an attempt to save her own skin. -- Andrew Rawnsley _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
