The GIMP project has put out a
report summarizing a year of development on this image-manipulation
application.
With 4 development versions released already, you know that we are
working very hard on the future: GIMP 3.0.Some features took a lot of time, mostly when we changed core
logics. I am thinking in particular about the code for
multi-selection of layers. It’s not that selecting multiple items
in a list is hard to implement, it’s that any feature in the whole
application has been forever expecting just one layer or one
channel selected. So what happens when there are 2, 3 or any number
of items selected? Every feature, every tool, every plug-in and
filter has to be rethought for this new use case.
