Ok, it is a lot better then when i tried it years ago. But still missing in areas.
1 - File\open dialog box is bad. It should be like a file explorer so you can see your files both in list form and\or thumbnails (small,med.large). Just having a list is terrible if you have hundreds of pics in each folder. You should have thumbs so you can quickly scan for the picture you want to open. Who can remember what name or number goes with ea pict.
2 - Also File\Open, i want to have it always open to my picture dir\folder NOT recent. I can find no option to change this. Recent is nice to have but not as a default file open.
3 Toolbox is very limited. It should list ALL items in the drop down menus so to customize your toolbox how ever you want. Not just the few that are listed.
4 - Toolbox2, a second horz or vert toolbox for more customizing. More tools visible 1 click away. My preference is horzontal.
For some reason the menu\tools\toolbox sometimes list create new toolbox but nothing happens and nothing in the help about it.
5 - Fix mouse over on toolbox. If you have all group it works fine but it you have groups and single items mouse over locks up on the single item. You then have to click on a group item to get mouse over to work again. Mouse should not lockup just by scrolling over a single tool.
6 - Pet peeve - Default install should be to the program files directory not app\data folder. Just a nice extra feature when install is complete it should ask if you want to run\start gimp.
I know i am forgetting something but will find it more i get into gimp, maybe even more LOL.
