GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release

You are flaming GIMP developers. I am merely asking for evidence which you didn't link the first couple of times. What exactly do you think that github link proves anyway?

Read the link above or move along. You wasted everyone's time posting twice already.

You posted more than me and offered a stray github link which I did read and that offers zero evidence that supports any of your claims. Feel free to try again and quote specific portions or explain yourself better if you actually want to convince anyone else.

Gimp has previously suffered from not being able to integrate code drops, so I understand why they wouldn't want some consultancy doing work for a fixed period.

Also, the gimp developers have integrated those interested like AlexSa/CMYKStudent quite well through the GSOC project.

Right now Gimp probably has the fastest development it has had in over a decade, so I dont think we have much to be worried about.

Those complaining will also be those that will be unwilling to contribute with their own time or effort, so they can be safely ignored.

Just because some random user posted they have $millions in the bank does not make it true. Posting to a gitlab issue comment is not evidence.

Good, they can go and look for evidence if they need one. It's not my problem some can't read and analyze that thread.

Nice, then GIMP 4 development will start and get released when GTK 6 is released

if we deal with GTK/Gnome this really sounds like a good choice...

people report that develop against upstream GTK/gnome is maybe no fun.

There is something seriously wrong with Gimp's development model and I don't think it's lack of possible funding. Maintainers just don't care to make this kind of work faster becasue they think it's OK. I.e. if they wanted, they could find ways fund such work.

i don't think so... they always welcome more money.

even though gimp 3 will be using an obsolete version of gtk, I hope the gtk devs will help get gimp 3.x working well on macos/windows. i think by the time gimp moves beyond gtk3 I think we'll all be using ai for photoediting work.

here we have a problem because GTK/Gnome devs have dropped the support for macos and windows...

this means only totally outdated GTK3.0 is the only option to have any windows or macos support...

[qarium]

That's not the point. They simply don't want to add full time developers even if that was possible. As I said, it's not about not having resources but rather about lack of any interest in doing it. And I think it's bad for Gimp's users becasue taking a decade to implement this feature is insane.

you are clearly wrong they would be happy to have full time developers but who will pay for it ?

String freeze? So they don't accept any new strings?
