    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

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

      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)

      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.
