Re: [Gimp-developer] Tool Dialogs stuck on top
Hi, Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've been trying out GIMP-1.3.23 and have discovered some behavior that I, at least, find terminally annoying. When I use a tool such as Crop/Resize, the tool dialog pops up. Well, this is fine, but (a) it pops up right over the portion of the image I'm trying to select, hiding it from my view, and (b) always remains on top of all other windows, even though I'd like to try to send it to the back. Same behavior has shown up for Curves, Levels, etc. Has anyone else noticed this and found it irritating? I didn't find anything in bugzilla, but I'm not really good at searching that database. See my comments on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128833 The strange thing is that the session management seems to work sometimes, sometimes not. We will have to investigate further why the proper placement of the dialog fails sometimes. But I think the tool dialogs should remain transient to the image window (and thus will be kept on top by most window managers).

Any chance of at least making this configurable by the user? Transient to the image window is something I find truly offensive. I didn't realize I would, until I tried it, but it means that I can't look at my full size image as a whole until I either cancel or accept the results of using the tool -- when it was so much easier to bring my image window to the front, examine it, and then call back the tool dialog and change my curve settings or level adjustments and see it all again. Of course there is a work-around: simply accept a set of settings, and use undo to go back so you can try again, but this is far too reminiscent of the old batch programming days, rather than the truly interactive adjustments we've come to know and love. -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzsHome Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/ Photo Gallery ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
