I end up zooming in and twitching the mouse till I get 0,0. Is there a quicker way ? Yes. You can place guides at 0 X and 0 Y coordinates. To use guides, just click on the rulers at the window margin, and drag the guides to your image. The default behaviour for object placement is snap to these guides. 2. Is there a way to get the measure tool to read out in mm, I have to convert from px with a calculator. No, there is not. However, I think it is still feasible for 2.0. I just wonder if anyone has asked for this enhancemnet on bugzilla...

Hi, Willie Sippel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Check my new mockup, I've changed this. It's available at http://www.zeitgeistmedia.net/gimp/gimpstreamline2.png . You're right on this one, I would suggest to split the toolbox, upper segment containing logical groups, e.g. paint tools, and on click, the lower segment contains the corresponding tools, like brush, pen, airbrush, ink and text. This would reduce mouse movement, as you suggested, while still making it easier to find the tool you need. I like this idea. Perhaps if the GUI could better indicate the relationship between the selected tool-group and the list of tools below, people would actually have a chance to understand this concept without the need to explain it to them. What I dislike about your mockup is the fact that you overload widgets with functionality using the three mouse-buttons. This hides important functionality and is thus unacceptable for a user interface that is supposed to be as intuitive as possible.

[Gimp-user] Bug Week!
Hi all! As some of you might already know, next week is the pre-2.0 GIMP Bug Week. The first pre-releases of 2.0 will start coming out the door around the end of this month, and we need to get some concentrated testing done before then, as well as classifying known bugs into those which will be fixed before 2.0 final and those which will be fixed later. For those of you who aren't familiar with the idea, a bug week is a week when we make an extra effort to find bugs (and fix them) with the assistance of the general public. We invite people to join up on IRC (irc://irc.gnome.org/#gimp) to give us feedback, to help the developers prioritize bugs to be fixed, and to report bugs (if you're intimidated by Bugzilla). Apart from bug fixing we also need GIMP users to volunteer for bug triaging. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of bug triaging, the GNOME Project has a nice description of the bug triage concept - please see http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/ So if you're a GIMP user and wants to help the developers getting the source code in shape for 2.0 - or if you're a developer with (at least) minimal experience with The GIMP and wants to help fixing bugs in the source - you should definitely show up at The GIMP Bug Week. See you at The GIMP Bug Week!

Hi, Willie Sippel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 2.) Remove buttons from the main menu and add the corresponding functions to a mode selector in the Tool Options: While I see how this would save some screen estate and reduce clutter in the toolbox, I think that it would be very cumbersome to have to click in two different places to select a tool. I'd like to see tool-groups, as you suggest them, to be integrated into the toolbox, not split between toolbox and tool-options dialog. 6.) Add 'Alpha' to the Color Picker; See also http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121331. 13.) Remove the pressure mapping options from the tool settings and add it to the 'Tool state' window, to remove unnecessary options for users without a tablet; There are a few things you can do with the pressure options even if you don't have a tablet. These are considered hacks however and I agree that we should consider to move these settings elsewhere or at least hide them when no special input devices are available. 14.) Add a pressure curve to the tool settings, to edit the pressure and suppress values on the fly; This has been suggested before, there should be a bug-report for it. 15.) Remove the brush and pattern preview from the main toolbox, because it clutters the toolbox - it's redundant, anyway, because there is allready a preview in the tool settings window. It might be even better to also remove the pattern preview from the tool settings and show the selected pattern on the color preview of the main toolbox; The brush, pattern and gradient previews in the toolbox are redundant and are scheduled for removal already. It's just a matter of doing it. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Making the color picker tool grab the alpha value
Hi all, As I stated on the answer to Willie Sippel, I liked the idea of the color picker tool to pick de alpha value of a pixel. More specificaaly when c temporarily called using control while one is using another paint tool. The alpha value of the pixel or region picked would them set the opaccity of the tool one is using in the moment. I even suggested this as an enhancemnet at bugzilla (bug 121331). However, people need to like the idea for it to be done. So, what do you think? Should the color picker pick the alpha and set the opacity of the current paint tool, or not?
