hi
probably this has been discussed earlier, but i wasn't able to find any information. my question is: is it possible to have gimp in one window? like in other graphic programs - not to mention photoshop or photo-paint. i found something like regimp but this software is old now.

also is it possible to make gimp toolbar window not steal focus from the image. it really annoying that one has to click image before using keyboard shortcut.

thanks for any suggestions best regards
y

Yes, assuming that you are on X11, you can use Xnest. I do however suggest to use a virtual desktop instead.

This has been addressed in GIMP 2.1 and will be in the next stable release.

Now that you raise the issue, I wonder what is going in in the following image http://www.deviantart.com/view/8257589/.

New method?
Optional setting? It reminds me of the same app in MacOS (where I always found it as a bunch of windows), but it is the first time I see that in MSWindows version.

If I understand your comments correctly you seem to think that this version of Adobe Photoshop is somehow differnt because the windows appear to be seperate.

What this screenshot shows is not anything different from what photoshop has been in the past, however it does look a little different because the main window has been resized (the toolbox and palettes have stayed where they normally are, only now they happen to fall outside the main window) and the image window is maximized to fit the main window but it is still a window inside a window (note the min/max/close window icons barely visible on the top right).

It is difficult to describe it clearly but this layout of photoshop is nothing new, it is more optional settings as you said.

Sincerely

You might take a look at

http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=3892

which is a plug-in called "Windows Gimp Deweirdifyer". It is rather deprecated by the GIMP developers because of the obnoxious name and inelegant coding, but a substantial number of Windows GIMP users seem to like it in spite of its imperfections.

You can find more discussion of the plug-in, and this topic in general, than you could possibly want to read at

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379

and

I would suggest to not use this plug-in but use a virtual desktop instead. There are several implementation for virtual desktops on Windows and, from what I heard, whoever tried it doesn't want to miss that functionality any longer.

Why would a virtual desktop be preferred? Would it be to keep all of the Gimp windows on the other desktop to keep the main desktop relatively "clutter free"?

Peace...

How about calling it the Windows Gimp Unifier (if the Deweirdifyer name is offensive and hinders its success.)

No offense :-)

I see that I may have inadvertantly given the impression that I have something to do with that plug-in. Not so: I have never even used it, or GIMP on Windows at all for that matter. Joe Marshall is the creator of the "Deweirdifier".
