What you fail to understand about multi-windowed GIMP on the Mac is that it uses Mono which has very poor support for detecting clicks.
So if the main image window is focused and I want to click on a button in the other window that is the toolbar I have to click once on the toolbar window to focus it and then again to click the button.
Now its back to the image window. Click once to focus, click again to start using the tool.
It is a disaster and one of the primary reasons that most of us are glad to have a single window GIMP.
- krakensden 17y agoIt doesn't use Mono, it uses GTK+. Monodevelop does too, but they really aren't the same thing.
- blasdel 17y agoYou're almost there -- It doesn't use GTK+, it is GTK+, though they still aren't the same thing :) GTK == "Gimp Toolkit"
- unwind 17y agoThe GIMP certainly is not GTK+. GTK+ is a totally separate library. Installing GTK+ does not magically bring with it the GIMP's code. There are hundreds of GTK+-applications, across loads of platforms, that have nothing to do with the GIMP. It is correct that the toolkit was originally created for the GIMP, but it's not at all tied to the GIMP now. The GIMP developers often push issues into GTK+ whenever possible, they treat it as just another library.
- blasdel 17y agoI was being coy. It's a good thing that GTK is a semi-independent project -- as obnoxious as the Gnome maintainers are, the Gimp asshats would have strangled it with their usual besieged malcompetence.
- NathanKP 17y agoYou're absolutely right. I meant to say GTK in my original comment, but I was thinking about Mono because of another Linux project that was on my mind. Anyway, I'll leave the mistake in my comment since you've already corrected it for me.
