[Gimp-developer] Text Editor Popup/Overlay Dialog

The major advantage is completely and 100% WYSIWYG text editing. However, if you prefer the separate text-editing window, just enable the "Use text editor" checkbox in the tool's options. -- Stratadrake strata_ran...@hotmail.com Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list

The unstable version has an experimental feature to move all on-canvas widgets to the top right corner of the image window. Not for the text one yet, afaik, though. In my experience (and I use the text tool a lot) the on-canvas widget doesn't interfere with my work, but I can see how someone would have problems with smaller images. So there are a few options to consider, and, imo, this is where we need input from Peter. P.S. Sorry about the blank email.

No doubt a very useful facility (I can think of several times when i had wished it existed) but the fact I cannot clearly see the image above where I'm entering text is a significant frustration and annoyance. Need to be able to move or hide the popup. -- View this message in context: http://gimp.1065349.n5.nabble.com/Text-Editor-Popup-Overlay-Dialog-tp39111p47566.html Sent from the Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address:gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
