I have RDP access to a W2k3 server with much software available, so I'll see about cobbling up some menus compatible with what I have to hand. I think that rather than disturb the existing GIMP development structure for now, I'll offer the alternate layouts separately at least for a few months and see what eventuates. How hard is it at the moment for a user to select alternate menu layouts on the fly?

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

Hi, Sven Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Rearranging the core menus is a matter of editing a couple of XML files. I should probably add that this is primarily meant as a way to easily edit the menu structure with the goal of getting these changes accepted in the GIMP development tree. I don't like the idea of seeing forks of the menu structure since this will make documentation difficult to say the least. It will also break mnemonics. Mnemonics are defined in the menu labels and their translations and a lot of effort has gone into avoiding collisions. Moving menus around will finally make string changes necessary which is something that you cannot do with the GtkUiManager XML files. The possibility to easily rearrange the menus is nice to have but should be used with care.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Re: [Gegl-developer] The GUADEC meeting
One thought, if the complexity is worth it: when the menus are rearranged, GIMP could also provide a way of calling up the standard organized menus on the fly, or even make a way for alternate menus to be selectable and customizable at runtime, persistence could be an option. _-T ___ Get Juno Platinum for as low as $4.97/month!
