The project page and software can be found at: http://www.adaptablegimp.org This initial release is available in source code form only. Binaries will follow. AdaptableGIMP introduces a new way of interacting with software: Rather than hunting through menus to find commands, users simply enter what they wish to accomplish in a search box. As they type, a list of interface customizations appears. These customizations---what we call task sets---streamline the interface by putting every tool and command necessary to accomplish a task in one, centralized location. Task set customizations can be created by any user, and are instantly shared with the rest of the user community. Wiki-based documentation accompanies each task set, enabling users to pair tutorials and how-to's with the customizations they create. AdaptableGIMP is the result of ongoing research by members of the University of Waterloo's Human Computer Interaction Lab. It is directly informed by our previous project, ingimp, in which we collected over 2 years' worth of data describing how people use GIMP. Like ingimp, AdaptableGIMP collects data about how it is used in practice, to help us continue to research new and innovative user interfaces. Feedback about the project and its goals is welcome and can be emailed to the project at the address found below.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Announcing AdaptableGIMP
Dear Dr. Terry: I find it interesting that you and your group decided to use task set instead of (solution) stack, the standard FLOSS descriptor for sets of tools tailored to a specific task. Smart move, given that the goal, I would assume, is to help everyone!

Re: [Gimp-developer] Announcing AdaptableGIMP
Dear Dr. Terry: On a more humorous note, it would appear to me that a good logo for AdaptableGIMP would be Wilber with an eye patch, suggesting that the main idea is to make only part of the interface visible (in a task dependent way).

[Gimp-developer] CMYK file export plug-in
Hi, According to the GIMP Roadmap, it seems to take time very much for the CMYK support to be added to the GIMP. Now we can use the separate+ plug-in, but I think that the separate+ plug-in is not proper for the GIMP distribution because the separate+ plug-in has unnecessary features for general users and the separate+ workflow is not very seamless. The Separate+ team has written the subset version of separate+ (named separate-) as a GIMP file plug-in. Separate- is the CMYK file exporter and is very simple to use. It supports TIFF, JPEG and Photoshop PSD formats. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=640613 -- Yoshinori Yamakawa y...@yellowmagic.info ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

The demand for this ability however we agree that it is not the best approach, is very high in the professional levels. At least around here, where the print stores use to require pre-separated artwork from the authors.
