That makes a lot of sense! However, sympathy for the developers is not enough to get me to use a product

When Blender overhauled the UI it promoted it to "useable piece of software" status. I would love for GIMP to get the same treatment, being free and open source and all that.

Gimp overhaul?
oh why?
What I think that GIMP need is some cash injection.
maybe someone or Google decide to give GIMP a billion so Gimp can be more competitive against Photoshop.

So, here's one.
I have somewhere between 24 and 64 zip files on a couple of linux servers. Every one of these files contains a small text file, of varying name, containing a particular string, which needs to be changed in every single file.
Is there a good way to automate this?
I'm currently looking at writing a slightly laborious python script, or just doing all the changes by hand (but surely I'd miss some...)

Working on A* for an hour and then it freezes your game.  |

./ADP: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./ADP Got this back from a tester. Apparently I somehow built an executable that requires Ubuntu 10.10, and it didn't work on a machine with 10.04? Porting to Linux is frustrating. :/ |

The more reason for me to use less libs and engine from othe, also am still using Ubuntu 10.04  Also thinking about writing my own 3d modeler, which will be a giant waste of time to me |

I started on one of those once, and determined pretty quickly that it was indeed a giant waste of time. ...then I learned nothing and wasted several years of my life trying to write a full-featured bitmap image editor, before finally giving up and learning to use GIMP instead. If you think existing tools don't meet your needs, sometimes all you have to do is read the manual carefully and learn their ins and outs. |

is true...me learning?  I'm too ADHD good thing I learned Pascal, C/C++ when the Internet was young. But still Gimp is easy to use... compare it to Blender. about a good 3d modeler. I could always email to the author of anim8or and beg him for the source code.   or make him an offer he can't refuse |

I dunno with GIMP you have that funky many-windows thing going on which is hardly single-desktop friendly (alt tab alt tab tab tab alt tab alt tab tab fuck now i'm in ffox and its between 2 of my 3 windows). Learning some of the useful quirks (~ to quickly zoomswap, tab to make all the extra crap go away) makes it better but still crappy.
At least with Blender the interface is consistent. Its a bit obtuse, but significantly better than it was, and I'd say significantly better than one window with ALL THE TOOLS, brush shared between all the tools (if i want one brushset for my eraser and one for my pencil tool I just cant have that. Thats lame), derpy "different just because" hotkeys (gimpshop only kinda fixes that), transform tool separation is mandatory (but I _like_ translating and rotating at the same time...) etc etc.
I use GIMP daily on my laptop because its lighter than PS and means when i switch OS i'm still in the same program. The interface is about as good as HIV. I'd love to see an interface overhaul.
My programming grump:
We've started using mantis again. For some reason this means i was getting something like 30 emails an hour until the guy in charge of it all told the mods to stop assigning things to me and MM until they'd actually been verified. Waste of my time cleaning it out considering most of the bugs were stale. Not off to a great second start, mantis.
