It depends what kind of images and computer you work with.

Well, yes, that is true. Then 15 should be OK, IIRC I have been running with
a higher number (20 or more, maybe 100 sometimes, sorry but the info is in
another computer), doing small images with few memory (for today standards
for picture retouching, 64MB) but as you said, it was for web and such so
most of undos where just a pencil dot here and there, when doing hi-res I
lowered it to 5 or 10.
Who was reviewing the tips and trick phrases? This thing is a good one if
not already included ("You can choose how many undo levels, look in ...").

For 1.3 it would be great, with names for your own configs and a default one
(symlink to a real session or any other kind of link).

We are two at minimum discovering this behaviour and if it's a misconfiguration it has to be described somewhere. Because there was a suggestion that xfree86-3.3.5 can be the reason, I upgraded to 3.3.6 but nothing changes. The new text layer is a small rectangle in the upper left corner ... For testing I have also removed my ~/.gimp-1.1 (nice startup wizard!) but no effect ...

help-browser
Hi, My last compile of The GIMP (1.1.19) didn't have GTKXMHTML (because Mandrake didn't include it...grrr) so the internal help browser wasn't built, leaving me only the option of using Netscape. Which got me thinking (dangerous), can we add an "Other..." option to the Preferences for the Help Browser, so the user can select something of their preference (like the very capable Lynx or anything else). Looking at the code for the web-browser extension (which does the netscape bit) it all looks very complex to do something fairly minor, so this may not be possible. Anyone? Again, something for 1.3 i s'ppose. Bye, - Piers Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

I think 5 is too small and 15 too high. How about 10? Regarding what Sven said about this taking too much memory, i think that there are _a lot_ more users using the Gimp for small images (like web things etc.), and so perhaps Gimp should be tailored to them to start with. Just IMHO :o) Also, as far as i can see (about 2.5 metres), the Gimp can't save multiple "sessions". what i mean is that you could save different layouts of the various windows for different working environments - like different ones for low colour web logo style images, and another for full colour "art" style images. If you don't understand, this is like the multiple environments in Delphi 5 and (i think) Fireworks 3 (and maybe 1 and 2). Naturally something for 1.3 if anyone thinks its a good idea :o) Bye, - Piers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
