Tooltips on Gimp GIH (Brush Pipe) needed
Last modified: 2005-02-10 14:45:53 UTC
It seens like the GIMP Brush Pipe has got a bucket full of options... However, lookign at the save dialog one can barely guess what each one does. Try all, or stop saving to look at online DOCs would be a pain. However, a nice tooltip to each options would make the experience of saving a .gih a lot nicer. Please cc this bug to the plugin author. - Before the string freeze. I am willing to write down the tooltips if someone do tell me what the options actually are.
Tooltips would certainly be nice. Feel free to submit a patch. If you want this to happen before 2.0 you will have to very fast though.
This article might help to figure out what the options do: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/November2003/article314.shtml
Not to forget these two nice tutorials: http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/tutorials/Image_Pipes/ http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/tutorials/Image_Pipes2/
Putting on the 2.2 milestone. Dave.
This had helped a lot here. Thank you Simon! 2004-08-21 Simon Budig <simon@gimp.org> * plug-ins/common/gih.c: Fix some GUI issues. Make the relation between the dimension parameter and the rank thingies more clear also changed to a nicer layout.
Do we still need tooltips here? If so, it should be easy to add them. But since we need to string-freeze soon, this would have to happen very soon now.
Moving from the 2.2 milestone. We already promised to be careful with further string changes, so let's do this after the release (if it is still needed at all).
Unless someone wants to come up with a more detailed description of what tooltips should be added (or preferably submit a patch), I am going to close this report as FIXED. The new plug-in GUI seems to be good enough and it doesn't really help to have a bug report about each and every place that could perhaps be improved by adding a tooltip.
