It still expects floating-mode, the pop-ups is really annoying in tiling-mode in my opinion. Thanks, klr. On 27 September 2012 18:55, Martti Kühne wrote: > To add the superfluous comment no one brought up yet, new gimp comes > with a single-window mode. > >

To add the superfluous comment no one brought up yet, new gimp comes with a single-window mode.

Actually, GIMP in tiling mode is not very usable. In floating, it's easy to move the windows as you wish. But it depends how you're using GIMP too. If I'm not wrong, before 2.7, we didn't have "Single Window Mode". With this mode, you can open GIMP in monocle / tiling. Maybe that's the reason we h

Hmm, GIMP is only useable in floating mode due to all "pop-ups". Thanks, klr. On Sep 27, 2012 1:48 PM, "Nick" wrote: > In dwm's config.h, gimp is used as an example rule to start > floating. This seems like a bad example, as gimp is much less useful > when its windows aren't managed. > > Is ther

In dwm's config.h, gimp is used as an example rule to start floating. This seems like a bad example, as gimp is much less useful when its windows aren't managed. Is there a program that's widely used, that is genuinely better to start floating? If not, perhaps the gimp float rule should be rem
