No, one *should* reply to the list rather than sending multiple copies to
*everyone*.  After all, the original post would not have been seen if one
was not reading the list.  If after posing a question, one does not have
the initiative to keep reading the list, why bother?

Re: [Gimp-user] Reply vs. New message and Interface control

You didn’t highjack a thread, I made a mistake and thought you had, and sent 
you an apology. My bad.

If you have a question, just post it to the list with a subject line that is 
specific but succinct. You will probably get a reply, but there is no 
guarantee—someone who knows the answer has to see the question.The folks here 
are pretty supportive. You should get an email with their reply. At least with 
some mail clients, you should “Reply all” when answering a post.

As for your question on controlling the interface:

First, GIMP allows you to assign specific key commands to most of it’s 
functions. In your first example, pressing Command (Control) L shows  the layer 
panel if it’s not visible. This will only work for single commands. In your 
second example, you would have to press a separate key combination for each 
operation, either making the mask active or creating a new one. As far as I 
know, you can assign the function keys to any command.

I also know that there are python (I think, haven’t programmed since FORTRAN) 
scripts written to do specialized tasks, and these can be incorporated into 
GIMP.

Hope this helps. If you need more help with this, I suggest reposting the 
question since I muddled things when you first posted it.

Okay, I see what happened. When John’s original message appeared in my inbox, I 
must have misread the subject, or read the subject line for an adjacent email, 
probably because I was wearing my trifocals instead of the wide-field bifocals 
I usually wear for computer work.

John, I’m sorry if I added to your confusion and apologize. The 
misunderstanding is entirely mine and my fault.

That’s weird. No idea how that happened. I just hit “Reply all” as usual.

Hi Ross,

I don't see any sign of this being a reply in John's message - i.e. no
References: or In-Reply-To: headers.

It doesn't appear as a reply in any thread, but starts a new one.
