GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 520050
Easier use of many pattern/brushes/fonts/etc by using toggleable groups

I recognized, that if you have many patterns, brushes, fonts, etc... you will need some more possibilities to organize them: Here are some ideas: - In the Preferences: Make it possible to disable certain directories, so that they are not used. - In the selection window(s) for brushes, patterns, etc...: Show Tab for each directory, so you have a sort of 'collections'. This will speedup finding a certain one extremly. If you add a new one, it will be added to the underlying directory, if writable. You can go even further, if you let the users create 'profiles', which will activate only certain directories (i.e. data). For instance: You could have an profile for 'Web-Sites', which all needed patterns, gradients, brushed and fonts you'll need. Another profile could be 'Anniversaries', which will have other pattern and brushes (in High-Resolution, because we want to print) and better or more fonts enabled. - For Scripts: Make it possible to add an example image, which will be shown in the Script's perference/data value window. I collected some scripts from the internet, but I did not really know what each script will do. Other information:
We have already discussed several approaches for this on the gimp-developer mailing-list and the plan is to introduce tags to categorize the data files. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 119874 ***
