Yse, single-window mode is definitely a new feature to love. I mentioned it elsewhere but in every previous version of GIMP I've used to date, every time I open an image file for any reason the first thing I have to contend with is the fact that it overlaps the toolbox windows.
I tried everything I knew how in the user preferences, just to no avail. Window positions only worked partially, because then the image window and right-hand toolbox were overlapping. With the "Normal" toolbox hints, my toolboxes got obscured below the image window (bad), and with "keep above" or "utility" (which as of 2.6 also includes keep-above) hints it was my image window (and associated menus) getting buried under the toolboxes (even worse). Combining everything into a single window finally means that I don't have this constant struggle between whether the image or toolbox is the one on top of the other, they're side by side and equally visible. Now if GIMP would just remember that I want to run it maximized.... -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth.

(a few tweaks to make it reliable on Windows 7 (works ok on WinXP) would be nice but not essential) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list |
