The button order follows the system preferences (since GIMP 2.4). The UI designers of your operating system have chosen to place the confirmative button leftmost. GIMP, or rather GTK+, follows this preference and places dialog buttons according to the rules that all applications on your system should obey. You could of course change this by setting the "gtk-alternative-button-order" property in your gtkrc. > U R Right.

But it is not dialog matter, but Windows Explorer window (file list in folder). Maybe tomorrow I will be able to re-call the problem and make screenshot wich will explain it better than my poor english. >> 2) I make some corrections to colour, geometry, croping.

In some cases it is faster to use keybord, in some cases is faster to use mouse. But it is not big matter. I just wonder why? Why somebody change the buttons layout. Leaving buttons untouched costs nothing, so why did they put so big time to change the laayout? >> 3) I'm ready to finish and save a job.

OK, thanks. Tomorrow I will check update info, than I post my script-fu here and ask some question.

I will be sure tomorrow at the office - at home I try it on images on local HD. The problem appeared at the office, where I usually work on images saved to linux server volumes. But now I have new hope and some "how to" directions :) >> 2) I make some corrections to colour, geometry, croping.

OK, lets say I >> should read button description before hit. > > No help here. I didn't feel any difference... Well, there is no chance to help. I just have to change or modify some fixed behaviours. It will be easier to understand if U will know, that last 5 years I made about 30'000 pictures and maybe 100'000 simple operations. I REMEMBER that "Ok" button is in Right/Down Corner. In G 2.6.3 in this corner is "Cancel" button. So... after applying levels, curves, resolution or so... I just confirm operation by moving pointer over the right/down corner button, click and... "play it again, Sam" :D But trully it is not big matter. After next 5 years I will move mouse to another button, and they will back to "old config" ;) >> 3) I'm ready to finish and save a job.

I need few days to refresh my knowledge about script-fu, but I see that there is important difference in using "let" operator and generally they change variables settings. I need one day and fresh brain and maybe I will manage with it. Today is late here and... I'm tired a bit. > BTW, going back to (or staying with) and older version is hardly a threat. > You're just missing out on all the great new things the GIMP people work > hard to add. U R Right. But old guys (me?) sometimes are not quick and clever enought to follow all changes. Anyway.

Apply my Script-Fu > (flatten image, resolution, sharpen) and... My script doesnt work! There was a larger change in the way Sript-Fu works between 2.2.x and 2.4.x. I had to rework my scripts too - the changes aren't too complicated to add. Check this: http://gimp.org/docs/script-fu-update.html BTW, going back to (or staying with) and older version is hardly a threat. You're just missing out on all the great new things the GIMP people work hard to add.
