[Gimp-developer] New features that should be nice

2009-03-29 Thread Eduardo Barijan
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?

  Save early, save often - and if in doubt, save a copy ;)  Personally,
  I would turn off the auto-save feature if it was an option: I don't
  want to automatically save a huge image every X minutes - just my
  opinion.

 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.

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.
