Damn, this has the same type of interface as the gimp. :(
If you don't like the gimp, don't touch this. If you like the gimp, then go for it.

:) Hello !

• Yep ! For the aforesaid reasons, I didn't try that, thanks to add this warning ! The GUIs “Catch the pieces here and there” are a pain in the neck !
- I have a French GIMP like this, and I use it only with a gun on my head, when absolutely needed !
- I've also a version with a basic mother-window, but… in English only, not translatable !

- So, the good viewer-painting-simple-user•friendly-localizable soft remains to find out still ! Image

This is just another example of the "Macintosh" way being a boondoggle. All those floating non-dockable windows? Sheeesh.

No thanks!

I also don't like the GUI, but some people will do. :wink:
