Thunderbird does.

Um, no it doesn't. I just has a short blurb about little response on
the dev mailing list and needing help with the Preferences dialog.

[Gimp-user] [Gimp-developer] volunteer needed for preferences dialog

2004-06-06 Thread Sven Neumann
Hi,

I am forwarding this mail to gimp-user because there hasn't been any
response on the gimp-developer mailing-list. Perhaps I can reach a
potential contributor here or at least get some user feedback...

Hi,

IMO it's about time to try to clean up the preferences dialog once
more. Here are a couple of ideas on how the dialog could be improved:

- I'd like to see the "Interface" group be removed. That would flatten
  the hierarchy which is kind of arbitrary at the moment.

- The theme chooser should be moved to a separate page, the Interface
  page is rather crowded.

- Input device configuration should either be redone or moved to
  another page. Having it on a page of it's own doesn't make too much
  sense.

- The items on the session management page could IMO be moved to other
  pages.

- Perhaps we should show the dialog with the Folders section
  collapsed. That would make the dialog smaller and less frightening.

- We could IMHO remove a couple of options. They could stay to be
  configurable via gimprc but we don't necessarily need a GUI for all
  of these. Possible candidates for removal are IMO:

- undo-preview-size
- info-window-per-display
- tearoff-menus
- last-opened-size
- use-help
- perfect-mouse
- cursor-updating
- min-colors
- install-colormap
- stingy-memory-use
- trust-dirty-flag
- restore-session
- restore-accels


These changes are all rather easy to do so this is a nice job for a
fresh contributor who isn't afraid to learn some gtk+ and gimp basics.
Please do also not understand the above as a list of instructions.
This is just how I would address the problem. If you pick up the job
then it's up to you to decide how it is done in detail.


Sven
