And one more thing!!! … Mailing lists need a “Like” button. Alex would surely receive a gazillion for his previous post in this thread. Than-you, Alex, for all of the great work that you and the other volunteers do so that the vast majority of users of the program can benefit without lifting a finger. The post which led to your response makes my unofficial membership in that latter group highly embarrassing. I apologise on behalf of the rest of us.

People who don't study what we do and who come to teach us how to do things never achieve a thing. People who get involved, however, do achieve some great things and make GIMP and its ecosystem better. Are you from the former or from the latter group?* Blender foundation make decision to create movie * They crowdfund it and invite (hire?) artists and developers * As artists works they have spcific needs and devs solve themWe kinda sorta know about BF and what they do.* Finally: ..... The movie is proof what the software is capable of ..... The devs and artists gain experience ..... The community is happy - they have improved software - new features, improved UX, ... It would be nice, if Gimp community make similar thing. It doesn't need to be project, but a collection of userstories / scenarios.https://www.patreon.com/zemarmot http://gui.gimp.org/index.php?title=GIMP_UI_RedesignThere are also tons of extensions and plugins, but the web ( http://registry.gimp.org/) is half-workingNot working at all. It's a static website with no maintainerand many of those extensions are not working. I've seen great concept for Extension manager: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wmx3OgdATU0/Sziww2F0t5I/AAAAAAAABPE/nxquiNEM6l4/s1600-h/addonsInstaller.png btw. are there somewhere sources of Gimp registry site, or ERD of it's database? It would be nice to create REST API - then anybody could create client for those extensions, or even it's own rpository.Are you volunteering? :) Alex _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list gnome org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
