I believe he's going for a "only create selection" option for text.  
There's some fairly simple work-arounds, but his question why this feature
doesn't exist is a good one.  Certainly a must for 1.3.x.

Removing Alha from a multilayered image is not possible since
gimp insists on having alpha on each layer but the background.
So, Flatten is actually the correct term here, IMHO.

This more or less works now...

Fixed that a while ago.

Hmm, what's weird about: "Histogram does not work on indexed drawables"?
We might want to additionally set the menu sensitivity dependant on the 
image mode.

What in particular do you see as a disadvantage about the perl plugins?
Their existance alone seems to irk some people, for reasons I'm not 
at all clear on.  I happen to think some of them are kinda neat myself,
but then again I am rather biased.  If you could expound here...

Small .....

hi

Questions:

* How to change RGBA image to an RGB image ?, because it's not
intuitive enough. New option in "Remove Alpha" menu would be 
more helpful than explaining this and that.

Disadvantages:

* perl plugins 

* in toolbox sometimes windows get really odd
(color, palette, brushes, gradient), they look
a bit scrambled and they are out of control. 

* Still no transparent text (it can't be that hard)
Although it's tricky to get transparent text, but it is possible
and one must invent it

* Some tips seem a bit out of date (don't ask which ones)
It could use new (i.e. red square in the image screen)

* Lack of image info (in particular on:
Amount of colours used in an image (GIF stuff)
Histogram for indexed mode image [you get weird message when trying to
get histogram for indexed mode image])

* Logulator still too big in 640x480
It's probably the GTK problem not Gimp UI 
This problems also occurs when you try to change the driver in 
print menu/settings/driver list. Try to choose the last driver on the
list... It's also in open/save dialog boxes. Splitting the menu is not
the answer (well... sometimes it is) To be fixed rather in 1.3 please
append todo with it

* Freezing Maniacs 8-)
No comments on that, please.

Suggestions: (1.2)
* Clear TODO file 
* Add a section what is to be done in version 1.3 (huge list already)

Why I like Gimp (because creative criticism is not all I can do):

* Lots of good work on menu is already done (keep up the good work) *
Small Red Square in the image screen * it's still free of charge *
nice jpeg save dialog box with preview (you can see the actual
quality) * lots of advantages that I already got used to so much that
I can't use any other program (actually I can, but I prefer GIMP)

To polish Gimp users: Please help me with translation of plugins menu
