newbies who are using GIMP are always asking where is the scanner support. why? because they can't find it. File->Create is not intuitive, nor does it imply anything about scanners.
File->Acquire would be more appropriate. maybe even File->Scanners if you want to be obvious (which is even better!). but I can tell you from a thought process and human usability standpoint that grouping it under File->Create makes no rational, reasoning sense. at least keep the scanner stuff separate and make it obvious that it's for scanners. scanners are I think a very important part of any imaging tool, and deserve direct access, and even warrant a button. ------------ Jim Michaels jmich...@yahoo.com j...@jimscomputerrepairandwebdesign.com http://JimsComputerRepairandWebDesign.com http://JesusnJim.com (my personal site, has software) http://DoLifeComputers.JesusnJim.com (group which I lead) --- Computer memory/disk size measurements: [KB KiB] [MB MiB] [GB GiB] [TB TiB] [10^3B=1000B=1KB][10^6B=1000000B=1MB][10^9B=1000000000B=1GB][10^12B=1000000000000B=1TB] [2^10B=1024B=1KiB][2^20B=1048576B=1MiB][2^30B=1073741824B=1GiB][2^40B=1099511627776B=1TiB] Note: disk size is measured in MB, GB, or TB, not in MiB, GiB, or TiB. computer memory (RAM) is measured in MiB and GiB.
