Outwardly, the only difference is that the UI is now based in GTK3 and hence it is themeable. Who has the fucking time to fiddle with themes? But virtually all criticisms of the GIMP are directed to the UI as if the UI is somehow highly significant. A true image pro wouldn't even notice the UI but the hordes of dilettantes certainly do. -- Systemd: solving all the problems that you never knew you had.

Le 22-03-2025, Lester Thorpe <lt@gnu.rocks> a écrit : Great. Another display of your stupidity. Let's have fun. I'm rarely using Gimp and didn't tried the version 3.0.0 yet so, I have nothing to say about it. I don't know if I find it better or worse than before. I only know you display unrelated lack of knowledge which is a good and easy point to bash another of your messages. Mind you: I have version 3.0.0-1 installed so don't start with your distro lackey statement believing I can't install anything my distro wouldn't fit necessary. To test it, I just need to launch it. But I don't need to use it now, so, I won't launch it now. > Who has the fucking time to fiddle with themes? You. You do nothing good with your time, so fiddling with themes would be something you could do when waiting for your kernel's compilation to fail. > But virtually all criticisms of the GIMP are directed to the > UI as if the UI is somehow highly significant. In fact, it is. The only way to dismiss the UI would be to use only the terminal. But as you are unable to use a terminal, the UI is critical, even for you. If you can't realize it, it shows only you don't know what you do. It proves, once again, that when you despise something, it's not because you have technical arguments, but because it would become mandatory for you to learn something new. > A true image pro wouldn't even notice the UI Of course it's plain wrong. Your lack of knowledge is just showing. Once again. If you write in black ink on black background, you won't be able to read what's written. So, having a big contrast is very important. If you have only a menu with thousand of entries, you'll be unable to find the entry you are looking for. So, when you are on a GUI, the UI is critical. And as you are always using a GUI, your inability to understand it shows only your inability to understand anything you are criticizing. As always, you show a big mouth with a lack of brain. > but the hordes of dilettantes certainly do. Nonsense. At least, it's more inspired than your habitual "idiot" limited insult. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

Good to know. Guess that means I'll have to stop. I'm not now, nor have I ever been, a "true image pro." That must be why I hate the dark theme that's been the UI default for some time. I find it distracting. First thing I do when installing on a new computer is restore it to the lighter "System" theme. Sacrilege. I'm a farmer, and I've been mistakenly using GIMP for years to prepare planning maps that show what I want to plant where on my diversified farm. They use a satellite photo as a base, with color-coded fields drawn on it as overlaying layers, labeled with the size in acres. Very useful when describing the plan to those entrusted with carrying it out. But now I have to give all that up, because GIMP is only for "true image pros." TJ

I imagine that the tone of what's written above is sarcastic, but if you aren't already aware, Larry "Lester Thorpe Diego Garcia Fabian Russell" Pietraskiewicz is a laughing stock.

I used to be much better at it. Maybe I wasn't annoyed quite enough yet. As for Lester, I know nothing of him, other than the ridiculously elitist message that started this thread. I don't usually frequent this group, but I failed to notice it was the only one in the followup field when I replied to the message on comp.os.linux.misc. TJ

There is nothing to know about him. He despise everyone except Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman. He despise everything except Linux, C and Perl even if he lacks the minimum knowledge to master them. And in Linux he despise everything that's neither LFS nor gentoo with the inability to manage them. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

I've been using The GIMP for this since 2006, so I pretty much know how to make it work for me. Assuming, of course, that GIMP 3.0 hasn't been changed so radically that the UI is completely new. Even so, I don't expect my distro's stable release to move away from 2.10 for a little while yet, so I should be good for this year's cropping plans. TJ

I looked at the download page, and the AppImage was the viable way to do it, so now I have it, but I could go back to the distro version if I wished. -- Joel W. Crump Amendment XIV Section 1. [...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

GIMP is good for what it's good for but the poster seems to need a GIS of some kind.

The above statement merely indicates that an "image pro" would not notice or be overly concerned about the GIMP UI. It in no way even suggests that one must a "pro" in order to use GIMP. However, as with all capable software, the GIMP is better wielded by image pros. Witness the billions of junk spreadsheets that are created by the hordes of untrained Calc/Excel users. It is the same with the GIMP. Now get back into your harness and plow those fields. Maybe one day your master will be able to afford a tractor. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! -- Hail Linux!
