If you are making an enhancement request, with mock-ups of the itnerface, the correct thing to do is to open a bugzilla (bugzilla.gnome.org) entry for it, and attach your images in the bug entry. Of course you can discuss the ideas, and invite people over to check your request for enhacment in this list and on the developers list.

There's the bookmarks pane on the left. You can add your directory there for quick access. I am probably missing something. Where is this bookmark pane? Have a look at this (old) screenshot of the open dialog. http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots/gimp-open-dialog.png The Save dialog is very similar (without the preview pane). The bookmarks are on the left, under the Home, Desktop, Filesystem ... icons. You see an horizontal line, and folders that are in realioty bookmarks to folders. You can add and remove bookmarks with the add and remove buttons (the are active whem a folder is selected). Of course, the first time (when creating the bookmark) you need to click on the Browse for other folders cross to access this view. Best regards, Olivier. If I do File-Save as I get a dialogue box which allows me to save in Home Desktop Filesystem Mail? or the directory where the image came from The only way I can get to another directory is to navigate there, and navigate there every time.

Since there's only one GIMP set-up anyway, I don't see how it makes a difference; any suggestion I make is going to be a direct result of the default GIMP set-up that I'm using. I'm not biased by Photoshop, PSP or anything else, I'm just acutely aware of the user interface's short comings and I'm trying to address them. Making GIMP newbies (which I'm not, btw) learn the interface until they get used to it only means that they'll get used to the GIMP's short comings, not that they'll go away. It's just the same as how Windows users put up with their interface, all the time forgetting how restrictive it is. When it's all you can see, it becomes normal. It's only after you come back to Windows after spending months away, using a different OS like Linux+Gnome, that you suddenly realise how poor Windows actually is. If Microsoft were trying to get users to migrate from GNU/Linux to Windows, they'd be out of business in weeks. So I think you unwittingly hit the nail on the head with regard to the GIMP's problem: it insists that its users conform to its way of doing things instead of being malleable so that different users with different approaches can tailor it to suit their needs. Its approach obviously works for you, which is why you're happy with it. Just try to remember that your way isn't necessarily the *right* way. I agree 100% with this, very well stated. I think PhotoShop users suffer from this as well as they don't realize the PhotoShop way isn't necessarily the *right* way. Great post! Peace...

I agree. People use Gimp (or try to) and have a problem or criticism and post their feedback here instead of filing bug/enhancement reports or looking to see what is already documented in Bugzilla, etc. Maybe there are GIMP users who would love everyone to drop Photoshop (or whatever) and use GIMP. You know, I'm not sure this is really the case. At least not based on discussion I've seen on this mailing list. I think a lot of frustration stems from people slamming Gimp for simply not looking, feeling, behaving, or tasting exactly like PhotoShop. It's almost like if it's not PhotoShop, it's crap. I think most users are frustrated by the gimp and less frustrated by photoshop and the easiest way for them to express that is to make simple comparisons rather than being able to suggest better ways to do things. The focus tends to be on what PhotoShop does that Gimp doesn't do and almost no mention is made of the things Gimp can do that PhotoShop can't. What can the GNU Image Manipulation Program do that Adobe Photoshop cannot do? Please do tell. I have recently pointed out that the gimp allows you to have files with multiple layers in Indexed Mode and photoshop does not. I would like to be able to expand on this list of things I know the gimp can do better. I would very sincerely be interested to know other things you can do with the GNU Image manipulation program that cannot be done with other software, particuarly things that cannot be done in Adobe Photoshop. No need to go into the obvious well known issues of price, and Free Software which although important have been discussed to death many times before and are usually given as the best reasons for using the gimp (they are very good reasons). - Alan H. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

You can define layers to groups in Photoshop. You can even target an action to a group. No group idea in GIMP. it is interesting that photoshop is considered to have better layers control than gimp. if you use gimp more you will see who has the real control of them. Let's take an example. If in an image there are there is a toolbar at the top of it and some icons in a panel at the bottom. In Photoshop, one would have one layer for each tool in the toolbar and then group them to form a toolbar. Similarly, one would have one layer for each icon and then group them to form the panel. The benefit is, one can say move the whole toolbar or the panel easily. the only examples i have are the art i was able to make with TheGIMP for all of these years. if you could provide for me how this layers thing you ask for would improve this. perhaps it would improve my photography. the best way to approach this is to show what the current users can gain. if you can show me an example of some gimp art that could have been improved with this enhancement you ask for, it would be easier to understand your need. carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
