GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 141773
Sobel plug-in dialog does not conform with HIG

The Sobel plug-in's dialog does not conform with the HIG guidelines. The frame labeled "Parameter Settings" is unnecessary and should be removed. The dialog border should be set to twelve pixels. It appears that no other changes need to be made.
IMHO you are only creating more mork by creating a bug report for each and evey plug-in. Changing the Sobel plug-in takes less work than it took you to enter this report into bugzilla, let alone the work it takes to close it again.
To prove this statement, I've fixed it: 2004-05-04 Sven Neumann <sven@gimp.org> * plug-ins/common/sobel.c (sobel_dialog): removed frame, adjusted spacing, fixes bug #141773. The diff is tiny: sobel.c | 12 +++--------- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
The point is to document and track where we have fixed the dialogs and what is left to do.
Posting a short list here when a number of plug-ins has been addressed should be good enough, shouldn't it? This is a task that can be performed in a couple of hours by going through the plug-ins alphabetically, repeating the same changes. This won't work for all plug-ins but quite a few will be straight-forward to change. Being forced to close a bug report for every plug-in touched would multiply the effort.
