Re: [Gimp-developer] Volunteer needed
Hi Dave, GNOME Foundation c/o Novell, Inc. 8 Cambridge Center Floor 5 Cambridge, MA 02142 Perhaps the country name could be added as well? Otherwise people may assume it is the first Cambridge (UK) or one of the other international cities using the same name.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Donation for GIMP features
Hi Michael, You might want to have a look at XNest, or the following GIMP plug-in if you are working on Win32: http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892 I don't know if there is an equivalent for Mac OS X, though. Thanks for the link. This is great, it's got a lot of what I was interested in. If the windows could be bound within the main window area that would be all the main things my friend and I were looking for atm.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Donation for GIMP features
Hi Sven, IMHO, the plugins could be left un-bound to any window as they are atm. Or is there a hard coded underlying attachment between the plugin and parent windows required for it all to work? Are you saying that plug-in dialogs should be handled differently than core dialogs? If we want to implement WiW, then plug-in dialogs need IMO be embedded into the container windows just like any other GIMP dialog. I wouldn't mind either way. If it was less trouble to leave them not embedded into the container windows I would not complain. Photoshop does not presently have plugins within the main window I believe. If it was just as easy to have them embedded within the normal window that would be great too.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Donation for GIMP features
Another argument is that we would certainly not want to drop the current user interface since it works well for a lot of people. So I seriously doubt that any user would object against having WiW in the preferences. That's not my point. But adding WiW to the GIMP code will almost certainly add a level of complexity to to the user interface code. Let alone the fact that noone has yet come up with a proposal on how plug-in dialogs should be handled. IMHO, the plugins could be left un-bound to any window as they are atm.

Re: [Gimp-developer] Donation for GIMP features
Hi Branko, Thanks for your reply. While I love the flexibility the separate windows of the GIMP software provide. A friend and I think it would be very useful to have a single window styled layout (as well as the present flexible window position interface), where all GIMP child windows are within a core GIMP window. I think this is called MDI (Multiple Document Interface). This style of interface is common in proprietary gfx software we have used. My friend and I are thinking 50 (UKP) each donation so far (I know not much, but we don't have a lot to spare.. if others would donate it could be increased). If there is support for this idea, I could email the gimp-users list and ask if others would like to donate for this feature. I wonder if there are any programmers (way 2 below) who would like some donated money to work on this style of window layout..? Alternatively we would be happy to donate to (way 1 below) the GIMP group, if this new layout idea could be worked on in the group. Let me know what you think.

Hello J., I guess there are two ways: 1) Unconditionally donate money to the group. This may buy you goodwill, and it will enable GIMP developers to get together on GIMP conferences, which may help the progress of the project in general. However, it won't influence directly the creation of the feature you want. 2) Find a developer (not necesarilly an existing GIMP developer) who will create the feature for you. Note that even in case 2, there is absolutely no guarantee that the feature will be folded into the GIMP tree that is developed by the people on this list. For that, you would probably need to convince the people on this list that your feature is useful, and your developer will have to make sure (s)he sticks by the rules of adding code to the tree. Of course, having the code remain outside the GIMP may be exactly what you want. In that case, your task is just to find a developer. There used to be websites where you could hook up with such coders (sort of like dating sites :-)), but I don't seem to be able to flex my renowned Google skills this very moment and find some for you. If you would like to have something developed that can be used by others (i.e. free software), please tell us what you want. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
