[Gimp-developer] Re: [Gegl-developer] The GUADEC meeting
The roadmap for GIMP was discussed shortly. We would like to get GIMP 2.4 out soon. The plan is to finish what has been started in the development branch. This should be doable over the summer. When is expected string freeze for translators to happen? Jakub ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Re: [Gimp-user] use of the Space key
Because I tried it and I made the experience that it pressing a key with the second hand disturbs the workflow less than to switch mouse buttons. agreed Jakub Friedl ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] Re: [Gimp-user] use of the Space key
Do a lot of gimp users not have a middle mouse button? Maybe tablet users who don't want to put down the stylus and switch to a mouse? i do not have - a tablet and a notebook Jakub Friedl ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] use of the Space key
The genius behind the choice of space key is that it can easily be hit (on all keyboard layouts!) without looking away from the screen... exactly, and this is(imho, of course) most useful for panning Jakub Friedl ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] use of the Space key
it is a good idea. the descibed behaviour is really handy when editing zoomed in image. however i use the current space function too. would it be possible to use a different key for the temporary move tool?

Re: [Gimp-developer] use of the Space key
imho it is not a problem to have hidden features, if knowledge of such features is not required. at least we have some bonus for people rading the manual then. however i certainly support implementing the panning feature for the space key, because it is more useful than the current switch to move tool. i can live with normal keys for switching tools, even if it requires one more keypress.

Re: [Gimp-developer] use of the Space key
funcionality on the botton right corner of the image windows works allright for me - maybe there could be a way to let that more visible. That feature is really great when you need just panning, but in some cases it is not enough. I very often do retouching of zoomed photos with quick brush strokes and i do need a way to pan in the image very often. The Space is just ideal for that: stroke, stroke, stroke hit space and pan... stroke stroke stroke... hits space and pan... stroke stroke stroke --- this way i do not move my mouse/tablet cursor from the comfortable working area at all and it really speeds things up.

Re: [Gimp-developer] use of the Space key
very helpful for quick erasing,color picking, moving, panning, selection, unfloating floating area, etc. etc. etc :-) -- would it be possible to extend dynamic shortcuts feature to this area? ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] canvas background options
I'm surprised that enough users would be changing the setting often enough to want to be able to set it on a once off per window basis, I would have though that a single global preference would to override the toolkit default would have been enough oh please no. or is the gimp supposed to be used only by beginners and not by advanced users? if you do some more serious work you need often to change the colour of the surrounding area. and you need it to do by per image basis. if i edit images where colour is really important (and this will be even more useful when gimp will be able to handle colour management) i always set my gui theme to colours of neutral grey so there is no colour distraction + i change this setting in the gimp often to simulate different colour enviroments. the feature is invaluable for an advanced user. a month ago i was making three images to be placed on a wall, each of them on different one, painted with different colour. i was painting them at the same time (they were a series) and i enjoyed the possibilty to see them all against the proper colour. BTW: if you feel that the gimp should be simplified as possible for beginners, wouldnt be possible to keep advanced features visible for advanced users but not for beginners? but not remove them completelly? single option in preferences (or in gimprc file) which would enable more advanced features which some consider as interface clutter but others may need them? ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
