  1. Re:Hooray for dumbing down? on GIMP 2.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Then you also want Copy, Cut and Paste buttons in every dialog that has a text input widget? But aside from that a in-the-dialog text box has many problems. Do you show the filename in the box when it's selected via mouseclick? With or without path? How do you show multiple selected files? What if the user edits the text while one or more files are selected? Does pressing Enter with the cursor in the box confirm the text entry or the whole file load? Do you make the save dialog look the same as the load dialog (why did the text box move)?

    Crtl-L is not confusing if you know it, it also isn't confusing when you don't know about it. I like the reduced visual clutter, the load dialog has enough widgets as is.

    I don't know what it is doing but you should fix your computer (or stop trolling) because I don't have this problem and my computer is slower with less RAM.

    The dialog itself does not provide the feature and once again, just because there is a box does not mean that it is obvious how to use it, you need to RTFM or know that anyway. I know what I'm talking about, I didn't understand how to use the path/filename bax (in Gimp 1.2) until I switched to GNU/Linux and learned to use the shell.

    A novice won't know what the text box that shows the filename once you click it is good for either. Remember that you have to know about tab completion, so the "basic" function isn't basic at all.

    Yes it is intuitive to use the keyboard when you intend to type. It's also intuitive to RTFM or google when you don know the shortcut. No wonder documentation is lacking in the free software world, no one ever reads it!
