minimising

[Gary Collins-4]

Hi,

 

The discussion about single window mode has reminded me of something.

I find that when I use Gimp, I can minimise the main window, but all the other panes- toolbox, options, layers, etc - remain open on the desktop. (I'm using windows XP, BTW).

 

Now maybe there's already an option to change this behaviour, that I don't yet know about?

If not, I think it it would be very helpful if all panes were closed when the main window is minimised, and reopened when it is restored.

 

best,

/Gary

Please note that the behaviour of GIMP's windows on Windows is not necessarily as intended by the developers. The reference environment is using metacity as widnow manager on GNOME on Linux. You shouldn't infer anything about the developers' intentions from how GIMP's windows happen to behave on Windows. Most likely suboptimal window behaviour on Windows is just caused by bugs in GTK+ on Windows. The active GIMP developers don't use Windows much.

happens on linux, too.

only way i found to hide the panels is by hitting <tab>, hiding them while
the main window is still maximized. when i hide the main window then,
everything is gone.

good idea.

wasn't aware of that. what i refered to in my previous post was KDE 4.3 on
openSUSE. have to try how it works using metacity (not going to install
gnome, though.)
