Hello
I like gimp. But it's behavior with windows is weird and different to all other programs (I use KDE4):
After opening a gimp window the focus remains in the program from where I opened it and does not change to gimp.
Concrete:
I open an image from a list in dolphin. I want to select all the image (ctr-a), but instead I select all the list in dolphin.... To select the image I must must click in the window, precisely on the border of the window (otherwise I activate the last tool, which leads to even more clicks....). As I work with two large screens, I must move a lot with the mouse.
It is quite annoying. In a day I move my mouse "kilometers" for nothing. Something unnecessary that *only* gimp forces me.
Is there a possibility to tell gimp to behave normal with its windows, just as if it was any other program?
Thanks for hints!
Daniel
Hi Daniel, I use The GIMP all the time under KDE4 and do not see this behavior. My desktop preference is set to 'Focus Under Mouse' which might have something to do with it. I also use drag & drop with The GIMP, too, for opening files. I just select the file(s) that I want to open and drop them on the default blank canvas. Each opens in it's own child window. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
