@TareG I couldn't agree more. That statement was a total failure. On the other hand, a controller is always awesome for games that aren't FPS, MMORPGs and RTS :)

Actually, "should have" isn't technically a word neither.

Better luck next time.

@PATRICKmcnicholl

But now it's predefined mindless babble

I would say that's a huge improvement.

Am I the only one who thinks (and apparently noticed) the "Touch the android to begin." text it's WAAAY ackward ???

I was asking myself the exact same thing... Still, it would be pretty nice actually huh?

Oh, something I totally forgot to mention but it's worth the late post, photoshop DOES have a fullscreen mode =)

(at least CS4 has it, don't know the rest of them)

So, basically you are saying you don't want GIMP to be as good as Photoshop...just an advanced cross-platform Paint.

Haha.

pd. I'm not the one with "tux" nor "iSomething" in my nickname, and deff i'm not a windows fanboy, i'm an objetive person. You can even find in this very site a discussion with Lee Mathews with me defending "to death" linux.

If Blender had the vision you have about "what a home user needs", then it would be an opensource Xara 3D and nothing else..

Think outside the box :)

@der_tuxman

Actually, windows users ARE the mainstream users and you have to accept it. Professionals will use whatever they like it more, be that a single-window or multiple-window interface in OSX.

"GIMP users are not really mainstream users. Mainstream users pirate Photoshop or such bullshit apps."

And THAT's why GIMP should try to get the attention of the MAINSTREAM USERS, to promote legal and open source software and make itself better to compete with propietary software. (just like Blender does, to name one)

It's the same approach the linux community is taking RIGHT. Which is getting to the Mainstream Users and NOT the usual nerdy, technology enthusiast, IT people, power users (only)....

On another side "PS or such bullshit apps" ???? GIMP is no way even near photoshop's toes. Be objetive, not a "tux-fanboy". GIMP needs to get to the mainstream users and needs to get better, like it or not it's the reality, and playing as a smart-a55-nerdy saying "you are not good enough to use gimp" it's just NOT right.

"A clear con with SDI interfaces are that you can't use the full screen for editing a picture anymore."

And you will obviously need the layers and tools windows anyway to edit the image...so you still need at least those 3 windows (canvas, tools, layers) on-top 24/7, single-window interface rocks at that.

You may not like the new "single-window interface", but i'm pretty sure 90% of the gimp users are going to be very happy with this.

"that kind of users" it's the main stream users.

So, sure it does.
I personally HATE the multiple windows interface and I still can't get used to it.

It's the same as with linux as a whole...we need to make linux for everyone, not for just those who are loyal to it.

I couldn't agree more with you.
