[Gimp-developer] UI redesign: 1 Dimensional Menu for GIMP

2007-11-04 Thread Esteban Barahona
Hi all, This is the 2º draft for the 1 Dimensional Menu: http://www.zensui.org/IxD/1DM.html I will be honored if the new GIMP UI is the first implementation of a 1DM. This, I think are the changes to make it possible: 0) separate the toolbar from the menubar(s) 1) make the toolbar customizable to

[Gimp-developer] Feature request for a "spot healing brush"

2007-11-04 Thread Daniel Falk
Photoshop has a tool that works like the healing brush except that it doesn't require a source region to be specified before using the tool. When there are a lot of quick touch-ups to do, this is very convenient. Photoshop somehow guesses what it should use as source material and is often accurate

[Gimp-developer] GIMP 2.6: user directory reorganization

2007-11-04 Thread Michael Schumacher
My suggestion for GIMP 2.6 - and the only thing I feel able to contribute to - is the reorganization of the user directory. Currently, the configuration (*.rc) and resources (brushes, scripts, ...) are stored into a .gimp-x.y dir in the users HOME. There are a few general problems with this appr

I just have a couple of small suggestions, whose aim is to streamline the UI a little bit. The first is to take, if possible, the "tools" dialog, and incorporate it into the "toolbox" tab in the preferences. Then remove the tools dialog as a separate dialog. my reasoning, and correct me if I'm
