I understand that it's pretty late in the process right now, but I thought it would be worth mentioning that a new stable version of Gimp was announced a few days ago. -current has Gimp 2.8.6, and 2.8.8 was announced on
www.gimp.org.
From the "
Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.6 to GIMP 2.8.8":
Quote:
Core:
- Make sure indexed images always have a colormap
- Fix language selection via preferences on Windows
- Don't crash on setting a large text size
GUI:
- Keep the same image active when switching between MWM and SWM
- Make sure all dockables are properly resizable (particularly shrinkable)
- Add links to jump directly to Save/Export from the Export/Save
file extension warning dialogs
Libgimp:
- Fix GimpPickButton on OSX
Plug-ins:

Personally, I know I'll benefit from the new "links to jump directly to Save/Export from the Export/Save file extension warning dialogs". I always click on save, when what I really want to do is export...
