oppinion). And it's not the lack of familiarity with photoshop or whatsoever. They tell us that this layout is better for new users, but every new user I know (mostly when they come from windows) the first thing they do is closing the right docker (trying to close the program). And they loose it forever (they have to re-construct it if they want it back). That's overkill. That's one of the things that make gimp's UI look weird for newcomers. And that's frequently a problem with multiple windows UIs. You don't know what X closes the program and you end up closing other windows. I'd try to address this problem instead of thinking on mimicking other programs UIs looking for familiarity. -- Message: 3 Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:51:51 +0200 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Gimp-developer] Proposal new default layout starting 2.6 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], gimp-devel gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-1 On Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:29:40 +0200, Alexia Death [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: and third, a bit of familiarity for the first time users(separate, 2 line toolbox) can not hurt. -- -- Anke Lange Beethovenstraße 3 49593 Bersenbrück Telefon: 05439 609770 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] home: www.edv-schulungen-lange.de home: www.gimp-werkstatt.de home: www.kompozer-web.de St-Nr: 67/ 12604781 ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Last time we discussed this, we decided against copying all resource files to the user folder. But perhaps we need to reconsider this. There are some questions that need to be solved before we can do this though: - How can the user resurrect brushes that she removed? - How can we make sure that scripts don't break. - Is copying really the best solution? Having them read-only ensures that scripts can rely on them being available in their original size and shape. If that is the intent why does the user need to see them at all? Cant they be hidden and called api brushes? That would have more than one benefit. That's a possible solution. But I would prefer if we added API that allows scripts to set brush parameters. For backward compatibility, we could add some code that checks for standard brush names and creates the appropriate brush on the fly. Sven Hi I'm just a user of GIMP, not a developer. I usually only use the brush-editor and just open the same brush all the time and changing size and shape the way I need it. I hardly ever use the default-brushes. So here is an idea I thought of, when I read your discussion: Why not set the brush-editor as default, just like the way it is done with the ink-tool. Everybody that needs other brushes uses the great amount of brushes you can already download from the internet. I'd rather hope for a good archive of brushes on gimp.org.

[Gimp-developer] GAP
Hello like everybody else, I am very exiting about the release of the Gimp 2.4. Though I was wondering, if GAP will be running on the new Gimp. I tried to install it to the 2.3.19, but as you proberbly would have known, it doesn't work and you just get lots of errors. Thanks for any information.
