[Gimp-developer] New features that should be nice
Hello Gimp coders! I was thinking about 2 new features that would help a lot. 1 - the auto-save job. When you`re working and gimp crashes, your work is lost =x. If not a auto-save, a .bak file that you can save as xcf for recover work should be fine too. 2 - An option to save custom collor palettes. Yes, sometimes you are working on a big draw. Then when you finish a bit of the work and closes gimp, the color pallete you were working is lost. And it is very boring to keep note of any hexa code for colors. Just some ideas. How do you think about it? ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hm... yes, auto-save huge images isnt so nice. But it would help cause the crashes I experience here. I don't use GIMP on windows very much at all, but I do use it often on linux - either way it does not crash very often... I just tested adding colors to a palette and closing GIMP (current SVN) - it saved them for me, and the new colors were available when I restarted GIMP. What version/OS are you using? I am using Windows and gimp version 2.6.3 final version. So how to add and save palletes then? I just tested again with XP and GIMP 2.6.6 - there have been some bug fixes between 2.6.3 and 2.6.6, so you should probably upgrade and see if it fixes your crashing problems and also saves your palettes...

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138373 This lists some of the issues related to auto-save; the last few comments in particular. 2 - An option to save custom collor palettes.

And it is very boring to keep note of any hexa code for colors. There are a number of enhancement requests about palettes. I guess that http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346884 might be an interesting one. But maybe that is not what you want, your complaint is a bit unclear.
