Popular ideas Here are this week's most popular ideas about GIMP Image Editor.

GIMP is out from Lucid Lynx.

GIMP is being taken off the default install due to "CD space" problems. However, it should remain easily accessible/installable.

Solution #1: Replace GIMP in the menu, with icon to install.
Written by hellmet the 20 Nov 09 at 18:49.
Remove GIMP from the default install, but, replace the menu item with an item that will display information about GIMP and then ask if the user wants to go ahead and (fetch &) install it from the repos.

This way, GIMP is still visible, yet not on the CD, and is easily installable.

Solution #3: Remove the help files

Removing the help files from gimp will already make the cd smaller.
I have heard from various people it would make the cd about 20 mb smaller just by removing gimp help files.

Solution #4: Remove GIMP and let users install it as needed

It's a great application and I use it a lot, but it's not for everyone. A simple photo-editor with things like rescaling and "remove red-eye" is probably enough for many people. Also, it's not too difficult to install GIMP once your system in installed :)

Solution #5: give a simple paint app
Written by yzarc the 21 Nov 09 at 14:37.
Very often I just wanna draw an arrow over a map and write "the party is here!". Or just crop a picture.

And it's a pain to do it in gimp. It's like operate war tank to kill an ant. Please give us a simple image editor, no layers, no vectors, no Filters, etc. Try to remember the first time you opened the gimp. What do I do with all these windows and tools?
