Re: [Gimp-developer] Enhancement request policy

2016-04-29 Thread john smith
My experience is that GIMP developers don't care what any user would like to have. The general response is "we have previously decided that we want to do it like this and we aren't interested in how the end user might find something useful". This is in stark contrast to most of the other open

Re: [Gimp-developer] Export instead save directly

2016-03-13 Thread john smith
As long as people are putting their hands up, I never save in xcf and would prefer a workflow that was open, edit, save in same format. However, rather than try to change the core code to appease those with a similar thought, I would like to know if it is possible to change this behaviour with a

[Gimp-developer] Line Lengths

2015-12-24 Thread john smith
I had a read of https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/blob/master/HACKING but there is no mention of line length in the style guide. This looks like it is roughly 80 https://github.com/GNOME/gimp/blob/master/app/menus/plug-in-menus.c However, I can't help feeling that the code might be more readable

[Gimp-developer] What Would It Take To Add Native Dialogs?

2015-12-23 Thread john smith
The GTK Open/Save Dialogs look really odd on a Windows system. What would it take to put an if statement in the code that checks for the OS and delegates to the Win API if it was a Windows system? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776913%28v=VS.85%29.aspx It looks like there is already
