Sounds like a nightmare for scripting if I'm understanding correctly.

 I wouldn't have wanted my name associated with something called GIMP
 if I had known what the word meant when I started contributing to it.

 gimp
 noun
 1. twisted silk, worsted, or cotton with cord or wire running through
 it, used chiefly as upholstery trimming. (in lacemaking) coarser
 thread that forms the outline of the design in some techniques.
 2. fishing line made of silk bound with wire.

If you think that either of these meanings are what Spencer and Peter
had in mind when they named the program, you're even more naive than
I.  :)

 No. It would only play into the hands we already have with fake
 packagers who sell Gimp without mentioning the Gimp brand name and
 without mentioning that Gimp is available for free as well.


Sounds like closing the barn door after the horses have all escaped.

 Decomposing a distribution into Gaussians is the essence of unblurring.  A
 good algorithm for doing that would of course be very useful, but there is
 an enormous literature on the topic, and the most important fact about it
 is that it is mathematically ill-posed.  In other words, unless you add
 extra constraints, tiny changes in the source distribution result in very
 large changes in the output.  (In image-processing terms, transforms of
 that type tend to create large artifacts.) Unless the new method has some
 way of handling that problem, it probably isn't going to be useful.

 Not sure if I should be in AUTHORS, as there are no current

 I think we even had some sort of semi-formal requirements for being
 listed in either of those files at some point - does anyone remember,
 was it contributions during the latest stable development cycle?

Surely not contributing something during a cycle doesn't mean you are
no longer the author of the code you contributed before.

Re: [Gimp-developer] patch: change default units for colors/map/rotate colors, from radians over pi (!) to degrees

 The colors/map/rotate colors dialog box uses angles to show colour

 I'm pretty sure more Gimp users will want degrees than radians over pi
 for rotating colours. There's a pull-down menu to change it, but it's
 irritating to have to do that every time, and it seems crazy to add a
 preference.

This seems like a much saner default.

 Could an xcf file contain info RE: export preference?

 Then, for example, you could use the last used across sessions or whatever 
 other rule, but loading an xcf would override.

Excellent idea.
