Can someone please help? If you are looking for a good "photo-work-only" program, I'd suggest you'd try IrfanView.

It's easy to use, as-is, and it does croping, resizing and more. Batch operations in IrfranView cannot be any more complete or easier when you click Advanced in Batch Conversion --click a few checkmarks and you're done. Also it has no graphics creation tools. I'm only suggesting this alternative so you don't write off open-source programs completely. This program seems to get worse and less user friendly with each release.

On my laptop vista 32bit I have never been able to load this program at all, lots of program errors etc. Why can't we minimize this program, why is it always on top, I am tired of loading plugins all the time, the save for web feature isn't very affective, Why is this program split and not in one window, this drives me crazy. I find my self using vista paint program more and more All i want is a single window program that is on the bottom, you can minimize and has features like crop, resize and high quality batch options.

Woe is me, I am undone! Isaiah I have installed 2. Now I have to close the toolbox, layers and any other windows apart from what I'm working on to make space for the source doc. Then I was able to leave at least a corner of each exposed to click on when needed. And why only a combined icon on the task bar? That was always an alternative when a window had accidentally become obscured. I suppose the two problems go together? And as a matter of interest, how does one open a new window now?

The menu has been removed from the basic unit aka the toolbox. A few extra details re last post. I am a windows user both Vista and XP Gimp version 2. This may be usefull to some but should be an option. After all some say th UI allows great flexibility. This latest version is a reduction in flexibility in my view. Hpe I have not duplicated others comments.

Minimize button is missing from 2. For the moment I am remaining on 2. Hope to see this rectified soon. While lots of the suggestions for improvement are well and good esp 16 bit , I see the most important as macro recording and an improved macro language as default. I have a programming background an I find script fu most infuriating. For most non programmers they would just throw up thier hands in horror and walk away.

Python scripting may be somewhat beter but this is non standard and in any case the average use should not need to be involved with the scripting language at all. Please Please Please consider maro script recording for future releases. Personally, I don't see what the value of that function is--it would have been better if that was a shortcut to open the image as a new layer.

I don't like the new changes. The biggest issue for me is that the super-tool-and-layers window simply doesn't fit properly on my small laptop screen. For no real reason. And the custom 'tab' system doesn't behave like I expect - if I could collapse the other tool views rather than being forced to close all but one, it might be ok. I shall be having a look at the source code, then It is not possible to the get the old style back.

However the UI will be improved further - 2. I trust the developers that they know what they're doing - they already know that many people don't like it the way it is in 2. So please be patient - we all have to wait for 2. The UI changes suck. The default blank image window is annoying and I want rid of it. And having the File menu missing from the toolbox window is infuriating - especially as there seems to be no method provided to put it back. How does one get this back the way it used to be?
