Well, you seem to have misunderstood me, I was suggesting that Doug's idea that Printscreen would work everywhere was naive, not that Macs should have a Printscreen key (less keys are better, not more). Anyway such a function should be kept out of an OS (and it's terrible that both Mac and Windows implement it as part of the OS.) -- the user should be able to use the keys on his keyboard as he decides. > we even can specify if the image goes into a new file or will remain in the > Clipboard. Well that should be gotten rid of, it's a choice of quite dubious value that can be avoided by always doing both. Maybe it's a backwards compatibility thing? _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
