Create news, hope GIMP can use that money to work out a better and intuitive design. For example, currently, many Filters don't have previews (Or the preview window is too small), which make apply them become a slow try and error game. Also, the Text in the picture can be hard to select, as sometime you mistakenly select the underlying layer instead of the text. Also again, Filters cannot be directly applied to editable text. Sure, GIMP will convert the rasterized text back to editable text, but doing so will discard all the applied Filters.

You can always submit bugs/annoyances/requests directly to the GIMP developers: https://www.gimp.org/bugs/ https://www.gimp.org/bugs/

  Seconded. If you are a user, consider actively filing bugs and not expect them to be fixed by the developers without following this process.

  Oh, thanks for the heads up. I thought it's for bugs only.

  It looks like the GIMP developers would rather that new feature requests be made on their mailing list before making a new bug: "An enhancement request should never be filed without prior discussion on the gimp-developer mailing list[0]. This is to make sure that the enhancement requests that are filed are well-specified and aligned with the overall goals the developers have for GIMP." But please don't let that stop you! The more feedback that the developers get, the better GIMP will be for everyone. [0]: https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html

2.10 has on-canvas preview for (most) filters.
