Description Artis Rozentāls 2006-01-09 03:35:49 UTC 
A command like "New View", but with different settings then standart views would
be useful to create preview windows.
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2006-01-09 10:32:53 UTC 
You could create a script for this.
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2006-01-09 12:31:37 UTC 
Could you please elaborate on this idea. You could for example tell us what the user interface could look like, under which circumstances such a feature would be useful and how it would help with your workflow.

As far as I can see the needed functions are not available in PDB, those would be "New View" and the various 'Show' from the view menu.

I'm thinking of either changable defaults for "New View" as there is for fullscreen or a new menu item ("New Preview"?). This would be useful mainly when working zoomed in--details/icons/sprites--to view what the image looks at actual zoom size, curretnly there are about 5 'Show' items that need to be toggled to get a clutter free, space saving preview.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2006-01-09 14:30:25 UTC 
Actually this change would not be too complex. We already have the serializable GimpDisplayConfig object. Currently this is being used for the default view settings and for the fullscreen view settings. It shouldn't be hard to extend this to a list of named display configurations. That list would be kept in a GimpContainer then and we could populate a "New View" submenu with it.

Adding the gnome-love keyword since this might be an interesting task for someone who is already somewhat experienced with GTK+ and GLib programming and wants to do some hacking on the GIMP internals.
