New GIMP with optional single-window mode

zimt · 2009-09-21 16:35:26

According to this blog http://www.mmiworks.net/eng/publication … -mode.html, GIMP will have a single-window option in the future. This has regularily been a request by the community, especially by people using GIMP under Windows. As preferences of the community are at 50%-50% for or against a single window user interface, they want to keep both as an option.

I installed gimp-git from AUR today but I did not see an option to activate the single window mode. Anybodfy else tried this?

I tried the git too, it's not implemented yet as far as I know.

There is a discussion about it on gimp-dev. This thread may have forked in the middle, but the idea keeps going:

I recompiled from git yesterday and it's got the single window mode. Yeeehaa!
Obviously, it's still quite buggy but it looks promising and I am really looking forward to the 2.8 release.

Personally I got used to the multiple windows layout, and I like it. However on Windows, with its mediocre windows management it would be a blessing

i like the multiple windows , and if one is in the way i just r-click it and send it to the "desktop on the right"
