Please also consider, that the GIMP project is not as big as it might seem to you (have a look at the number of people actively committing in the recent time, read the ChangeLog). The number of contributors in the AUTHORS file is misleading, since these are the people accumulated in more than 10 years of time. There are a lot of interesting problems in the GIMPs codebase and we can only program on the GIMP when we have an interest in the problems to solve. Users requesting features usually don't make these features more interesting, hence the "we don't program for market share" stance. Producing a wild hack to satisfy the immediate need of some users for adjustment layers is more disgusting than interesting. In contrast an interesting problem is e.g. to substitute the internal pixel representation with a more flexible and powerful system. Incidentially this will result in adjustment layers for free. Oh, there is someone working on it: http://www.gegl.org/ ;) Bye, Simon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://simon.budig.de/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
