[Gimp-user] About bad new save export function in Gimp-2.8

2012-09-10 Thread maderios

Hi
State of mind ... I am willing to change things if it is an improvement 
but if the change causes a regression, I do not see the point unless I 
was masochistic.
For people to understand: I spent a lot of time experimenting on my 
Linux system new programs, new functions,  with bugs. It was for a noble 
cause, to move forward, to try to advance. To return to Gimp, new 
features save and export interfere with work and must return to 
standard Gimp-2.6 and all other publishers.
Developers gentlemen, thank you for listening to the users who actually 
use Gimp to work. Listen to their needs. Practice, there is all that 
counts and not the theoretical ideas completely divorced from reality.

Regards

We got a lot of negative feedback, unfortunately most of it was
incoherent write-only-rambling, which makes it hard to listen to. If
you're masochistic, go to the gimp-devel archives and read the threads
on that topic.

We also got a lot of positive feedback on the change. It seems we're
not really completely divorced from reality with the change.

For now we're sticking to the new behaviour. Sorry if you don't like
that.

Bye,
Simon

Because you're not dealing with reality. This is the problem of amateurs 
who create software professional vocation.

I know it's hard to admit, but it is a fact...

Just another example of the reality we are not dealing with. You need
to read beyond first two comments to understand the sarcasm.

I could list more positive replies. In fact, I probably will.

Yes, I do genuinely believe you are going to have a hard time to admit

Historically, tools and software are improved by professionals, amateurs 
benefit. Doing the opposite is a mistake.

Look at what happens in the image world industry.

Just because the English doesn't meet your standards doesn't mean the viewpoint 
is invalid.  And maybe your refusal to see the thought in the message is the 
root of the discord.

[Gimp-user] Latest update on Debian Sid

Debian updated GIMP this morning (2.8.2) and I notice that after 
cropping an image, the crop lines remain on the picture. Is this a bug 
or a feature ?

See, here you're disregarding my assertion that we got a lot of positive
feedback, Alexandre even pointed to a small part of it for e.g. you to
read up on it.

The picture just is not as clear-cut as you seem to believe.

We had a workflow in Gimp that actually caused people to lose their
work. We fixed it. There is no way we're going to reintroduce it, just
due to some people reacting negatively to the change, while
simultaneously questioning our common sense.

Simon

And your insistence that any individual's personal opinions reflect
what the community feels is also amateur.

From the feedback I have read both here, in reviews and on a number of
forums, it appears that the community is divided on this issue, with a
range of opinion that varies from The new behavior sucks, gimp devs
are all idiots, and I'll never us gimp again. to Thanks - this makes
sense, supports my work-flows, and was a good direction to have
taken.

The vocal minority is the one that is voicing displeasure at the
change (which is typical human nature) , imoo.

We are dealing with the it stands to reason kind of logic. It isn't
possible to argue against it. You can laugh at it, or you can ignore

Agreed,
Alexandre. Just that trying to pass one's own judgement as a
community's
judgement is a really ugly thing, that needs to be
denounced.

Do you mean the rectangle select lines after you say
crop to selection? If you mean that, then it's a bug,
and it's fixed in git, will be in 2.8.4.
