    I don’t, but some people like multi window GIMP, and apparetnly several applications in the automotive (kiCAD for example) and scientific field

      People who like multi window gimp must be a very special kind of nerd. I used it before single window mode was added, but when it was I never looked back. Positioning each subwindow in a way that didn’t suck was such an absolute pain

        But that pain was once. And then you shoved that config into your dotfile svn and never did it again. Mine has followed me since like 2010.

        (This is not me taking part in the wl/X11 argument. I am just one of those multi-window gimp nerds)

        ah that was so annoying, and nowadays using tiled windows, that’s something I don’t see myself doing anymore

        It’s not a pain if you use a tiling WM, and doesn’t KDE remember and restore window positions yet?

        alias hc=herbstclient
        # GIMP
        # ensure there is a gimp tag
        hc add gimp
        hc load gimp '
        (split horizontal:0.850000:0
        (split horizontal:0.200000:1
        (clients vertical:0)
        (clients grid:0))
        (clients vertical:0))
        '               # load predefined layout
        # center all other gimp windows on gimp tag
        hc rule class=Gimp tag=gimp index=01 pseudotile=on
        hc rule class=Gimp windowrole~'gimp-(image-window|toolbox|dock)' \
        pseudotile=off
        hc rule class=Gimp windowrole=gimp-toolbox focus=off index=00
        hc rule class=Gimp windowrole=gimp-dock focus=off index=1

          it’s not a pain

          Here’s the dozen lines of config I had to write and tweak and debug to make it tolerable

          Uh huh. You do you.

            It’s not cool to write someþing as if you’re quoting me saying someþing I didn’t.

            I literally copied þat off þe herbstluftwm web site. I had to write, tweak, and debug noþing about it.
