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.

I am currently taking care of the tips. I will add one about the
number of undo levels. Thanks for the suggestion. I also take this
opportunity to thank those who have already e-mailed me some new tips.
Keep them coming!
Regarding the default number of undo levels, I think that 5 is OK. I
would not mind if the default was increased to 10, but I would
certainly not like to have it set to anything larger. If the default
number is too large, we would probably get many complaints from users
reporting that the Gimp uses way too much memory and disk space.

Thing for Tips and Re: [new stuff for gimprc]
Some other, nice (imo), proposed changes to gimprc:

(undo-levels 15)
note that the undo-levels is set much lower than what I have it, but 5
just seems... well.. quite small.)
I think 5 is too small and 15 too high. How about 10?
It depends what kind of images and computer you work with.

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

Naturally something for 1.3 if anyone thinks its a good idea :o)
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).
