Yep. Of course, I know that. I was mostly refering to your initial email 
when you said you tried the master branch for initial editing. But since 
I also know you are basically a developer as well (as far as I am 
concerned), this is actually normal you try to use GIMP master too. I do 
use master myself when I want to do some quick edits (on the other hand, 
we don't use GIMP master yet for our more professional works in our 
studio). :-)

It was mostly a general reminder for the record, just in case. But in 
your specific case, it definitely makes sense.

Ahahah. Yeah, well if fully implementing it means having "a large part 
in writing" it, then yes I do. And I am happy my work is helpful to 
people. ;-)
