Feature request: Toolbox customisation

Hello,

First of all, thank you for GIMP! I have a feature request. This has been bugging me for well over a year, yet only now I found my way around to the mailing lists. Currently, the toolbox features no more or less than 33 different tools. I don't remember the exact theory, but there is one that says that humans can't grasp more than 4 - 7 choices. Not sure about the number, and it is not important here, 33 is definitely much more than that.

Most of the time when I do graphics work, I do not need 33 features. When I do pixel art, there are only a couple tools I need. Others are just an annoying distraction. I have never used Ink tool, and it is unlikely that I ever will. Therefore, there should be a way to remove useless noise, a feature TO ADD OR REMOVE TOOLS FROM TOOLBOX.

Of course, one could go even further, make tool presets, add the ability to move icons around, but for now that is not as important as getting GEGL implemented.

Sincerely,
Kristjan Siimson

Shouting is not necessary - it is already there:

File->Dialogs->Tools and then toggle the visibility with the "eye" icon.

Of course, one could go even further, make tool presets, add the ability to move icons around, but for now that is not as important as getting GEGL implemented.

Reordering the tool list works as well.

Bye. Simon

take a look at windows\dockable\dialogs\tools you CAN turn or off any of the tools ver 2.6.3
