[Gimp-developer] Question on mode grouping in 2.8

2009-09-07 Thread Rob Antonishen
I read that the layer modes are being grouped differently in 2.8 (from gimpusers.com - Layer modes have been grouped by context for easier use. For example, all modes that darken/brighten the image are arranged together now.) Is this just a UI change, or is the enum value changed as well?

No objections--- mostly I would urge developers to plan what they're going to do, make the changes, and stick to it. I know that's always been the plan but it doesn't feel like it when you're using the different versions. The random UI changes that appear in each release throw off folks who use

Well the last drivers I downloaded was about three weeks ago so I think that it may be too early too check, perhaps in a month or two and yes I did think too that it could be an Nvidia driver problem and if a lot of users using other graphic cards are not having the same problem that's more reason
