For those who haven't used GIMP, the big fix of single window mode is probably one of the most important steps they're taking. I have occasionally used the fact that I can stack the windows atop each other for hiding purposes, but much more often I'm saying, "dammit, where the hell is my layer bar? Where the hell is my toolbar now? augh! switching to my reference picture in the browser has upset my window order" and so on.
On-canvas text editing and cage transforms might be useful; we'll see.
- tbatterii 15y agoIt's even more painful in a tiling window manager.
- dkersten 15y agoHuh? Since I switched to using tiling window managers, I actually prefer multi-window interfaces for the first time ever because, to me, when tiled they essentially work like single window interfaces, except I have a lot more control over it. (I use a manual-tiling WM, not an automatic-tiling one - I wonder if that makes a difference in this case)
- tbatterii 15y agomaybe. I'm using awesome and I will get funky stuff like the toolbox maximized on occasion. But I'm still new to tiling window managers so maybe it's me.
- dkersten 15y agoawesome is also dynamic tiling, while I use a WM that does manual tiling (though I can make it dynamically tile by window class, application and other parameters - though I have to write scripts to do it - its not automatic out of the box) and maybe this is the difference: I can lay the windows out precisely how I want, while if I understand dynamic tiling WMs correctly, they will try tile the windows for you, which may not work well for multi-window interfaces.
