Bug (but probably already signaled and fixed) - not tested yet on v2.8, with "old" gimp versions I have noticied bug when use healing tool, sometimes appear strange colours very bright and fluorescent not compatible with work area colours.

Thank you for the taking the time to report this. Saying 'sometimes' doesn't exactly tell when the error occurs, so it's hard to find out, whether it's already fixed and give you a help. Possibly it's bug #600393 (see [1])?
Could you please check this again with the current version 2.8.2 you find at www.gimp.org/downloads? If it still occurs, please look at Bugzilla, whether it is already reported. Otherwise please report it at Bugzilla and tell, how to reproduce, the expected result and the actual one. Attaching an example picture showing the wrong effect is very helpful, too.
This will increase the chance to fix your bug.

I hope, I could help you. Kind regards,

Sven

Yes, the strange colors in the heal tool was bug 674543, which was fixed in commit 2920344524aa358c589897c39b0438cc99817b04

Subject: [Gimp-developer] Gimp suggestions and maybe a bug

Hello , leave suggestions for the good Gimp

- when save/export a photo that have exif/iptc/xmp tags if we save/export to formats that do not support tags is useful open a warning window that notify this situation every time to user for default (optionally deselectable from settings), tell something like this "warning: your photo/file have .. Tags but your selected saving format do not support tags, all tags will be lose. if you overwrite your file all tags are erased"

It can be safely assumed that when you export to a standard file format you can be expected to know something about what kind of metadata that file format does or does not support. This is not like JPG's lossy compression where we can safely assume that if you're exporting back to the same file you will be degrading the image quality. So I don't see an issue here, and adding back a warning about only "potential" loss of metadata (most of which is non-essential to the interpretation of stored image pixels anyway) does more harm than good.

- extend preserve write exif/iptc/xmp tags support to TIFF format (and/or another lossless format).
Tiff already support exif/iptc/xmp tags, for example Xnview preserve/write tags on tiff (but probably also other free tools). maybe ask xnview developer if want donate tiff writing code and contribute with gimp :) For professional/advanced use It's really important have tags preservation in at least one lossless format (tiff, xcf, or another), for use it for multiple editings without have quality loss, or without need use every time exiftool for rewrite tags.

Last I heard, the problem with TIFF metadata is that GIMP's TIFF loader doesn't actually inform GIMP about unrecognized metadata tags in the file that could be lost if the user exports back to the same target. It only loads the image pixel data and any metadata it supports, other file tags are effectively removed and there's little to no way (at present) to change this behavior.

- clone tool mode optionally work like photoshop, first select target (instead source), then we move mouse cursor on various areas and we have real time preview on target area.

Well, at least you explained the nature of the feature. Not everyone referring to Photoshop does that :)

That sounds a bit like the return of the warnings hell :)

Dude, free software is not entirely helpless, there no need to go for that. We already use Exiv2 in GEGL for things, so maybe we could hook up to work on metadata as well. Patches are welcome (from anyone).

- batch processing tool that support also installed external plugins features

You mean like the existing BIMP plug-in?
