They want it to become more photoshop alike. Maybe someone has similar feeling, so I thought maybe its not that bad idea to create GIMP 2.4 port that keep all of the nice features destroyed by a new design team in GIMP 2.6? I got feeling that generally user interfacing is going wrong way nowadays - take look at the language selector in windows 7 installer, or selling laptops with no backup disk attached :-( I dont understand why they put some new features in GIMP 2.6 with no option to have old still available... imho this is regress not progress. Would that port conflict in any way with current versions of gimp or its external components? Best regards, Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
