You're probably right, the idea is try to simplify. > Open as Layers is a powerful and frequent user scenario. Yes, I use it a lot. Not suggesting removing it, only moving it, as it's really an option on file->open. Which should be file->import: compromising the metaphor for ease of use indicates the metaphor isn't right. > Ctrl+O is something everyone is used to, and its easy to catch the > Ctrl+Alt+O behaviour. Actually I'd never noticed it had that shortcut. But it still could - the only difference would be the state of the checkbox - without a separate menu item. > I think Open Location could be moved to Create>From URI along with > Create>From Clipboard.

I have under File->Create from clipboard from webpage screenshot xsane device dialog xsane epkowa:usb:003:002 xsane v4l:'dev'video0 Sometimes I get epson expression 1000 XL in there too. In every other program scanning is under file->acquire, which is badly named but at least predictable. But all I really care about is having something predictable, where I can look at the menu and guess what things do. Having file->open and fil->create is confusing and so is having both open location and open webpage. So I thought I'd try & start a conversation about it :) Liam -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
