The GIMP UI Redesign

sekra writes "The GIMP UI Redesign Team has created a blog to collect ideas for a new design of the most popular image manipulation program. Everyone is free to submit suggestions to be published in the blog. Will a new GUI finally get more users to choose The GIMP as their program of choice?"

Re:stupidest key combo decision ever

[Frumious Wombat]

CTRL-K comes from the sainted EMACS. Remove that and RMS will show up on your doorstep to berate you about the evils of unnecessary keys like Delete.

It's seriously not a bad suggestion, but some UI decisions seem to have been frozen years ago and aren't really open to discussion.

Re:How about a new name?

You are free to fork it and call your project whatever you like, from the following list:

1. Firegimp
2. Gusty gimp.

[Dr. Spork]

I hate GUIs too, and you can be sure I'll be lobbying for a command-line-only interface for the Gimp. It might have a steep learning curve, but can you imagine how powerful and efficient that would be?

Shoulda used pimp-my-gimp.blogspot.com

[ConceptJunkie]

I would think so. The most popular image manipulation program is probably Microsoft Paint. ;-)

[SpectreHiro]

In the case of the GIMP, I'm pretty sure it's actually less popular than it is commonly used.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that if Photoshop and the GIMP went to the same high school, Photoshop would be crowned prom queen, while the GIMP would have a bucket of pig's blood poured on it.

Photoshop would be crowned prom queen, while the GIMP would have a bucket of pig's blood poured on it.

The Gimp Bucket Fill Tool doesn't have a, "Blood", fill mode. The three fill modes are: FG Color Fill, BG Color Fill and Pattern Fill.

Lazy bum!
