GTK3 Port Of GIMP Is "Officially Finished"

[dragon321]

Pure wishful thinking.

GTK is no longer an independent framework; all decisions are made by the same people who make GNOME. Feature not needed in gnome = feature not needed in GTK.

GTK4 is trash.

We need a GTK3 fork with GTK2 application compatibility.

Yet again you spread your false claims without even writing single line of code in GTK. Your claims about GTK are wishful thinking because you are not speaking about reality but about you imagine GTK in your hate against it. I've refuted your claims few times and you are still repeat those things. What is it, some kind of ideological anti GTK mission?

Provide example of at least one thing that was completely removed from GTK because "GNOME didn't need it".

Feel free to make such fork. It might be difficult with zero knowledge about GTK.

Literally tray icon removed in GTK4 and it was "deprecated" in GTK3 (https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3685).

Feel free to make such fork.

Good idea.

Good idea.

Not because GNOME doesn't like them but because they don't work on Wayland and GTK4 was supposed to be free of any X11 only features. You can use libappindicator with GTK4 as replacement. There is some effort to create new standard for tray icon that should work on Wayland natively. It is supported by both GNOME and KDE.

Good luck. And no, I'm not sarcastic here. Such fork will require tons of maintenance work so it will be needed.

Just like KDE is contributing to Qt. Doesn't really matter.

Competely different things. Qt is a commercial product fully independent of KDE, even though some KDE members contribute patches under CLA. Gimp is a Gnome project. Gimp's git is literally hosted on gnome.org and it's not just a mirror.

Correction: Qt is an open-source project developed by a commercial organization. Unlike the GNOME Foundation, a non-commercial organization (which is funded, among other donors, by Microsoft, a very Linux-friendly corporation!).

With Qt the developer has a lot more freedom and you are not limited by the moronic worldview of GNOME developers.
