Hey there,
I signed up for the sole reason of reacting to this thread. I simply had to. Specifically I'd like to express my disappointment at two things;
1) The fact that their are still people buying into the utterly broken multi window interface for programs. It's not a "design ethos", to me that's an utterly laughable remark. It's more like a painful beginners' mistake. Multi window interfaces were broken already in the early X11 era, thank god all developers with a shred of insight have let go of it already, with GIMP developers finally joining not too long ago, That program for the first time in history now has a chance to even /begin/ being useful!
2) The reaction "Then write your own image editor" is a misplaced and trollish reaction to a user who actually is pointing out a possibility for big usability improvement in the program (I would actually simply call it a bug), and even goes so far as to try to show how it could be improvemed!
As for me, I'm sorry to say I uninstalled the thingie already. I simply can not work with programs like that, and there is an enormous multitude of alternatives, so I do not need to "write my own image editor"
Cheers, and happy coding!,
Vlijmen
