Can't reply to your other comment about WONTFIX for MDI, because the thread went too deep.
I get your point about having to wait for 7 years, but let's just scroll down to the bottom:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379#c118 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379#c118
"...we should finally close this report as WONTFIX. This has been discussed to dead and there are plans for a user interface that will solve the problems that the MDI approach is supposed to solve."
and then:
"We are currently working on changes to the user interface that will solve the problems that the MDI approach is supposed to address. Window-in-window is definitely not part of this plan. It's not going to happen."
So it wasn't just closed as WONTFIX, it was closed as WONTFIX, because users requested MDI, and instead tabbed interface was introduced.
- Joeboy 9y agoFair enough, although I'll counter that GIMP didn't actually get single-window mode until 2011 (a full 10 years after that bug report), and it seems like the GIMP devs spent a lot of the intervening period trying to claim lack of single-window mode as a feature. Like I say, ancient history now. But some of us are good at holding onto grudges :-)
