GIMP 2.8 Is Struggling to Make it Out the Door
Linked by Hadrien Grasland on Sun 9th Jan 2011 12:39 UTC, submitted by RichterKuato
Graphics, User Interfaces "GIMP 2.8 has been talked about for more than a year and back in January there was a GIMP 2.8 release schedule by Martin Nordholts that had set the final release for the 27th of December. That date has now passed and, sadly, this major update to this leading open-source graphics program is still not close to being released."

Pinta is NOT a paining app? Since when?

I never said that. So the person you are arguing against is, in fact, yourself ;)

But now that you mention it, Pinta is in fact a general purpose graphics editor with very basic painting related feature set, clearly not a specialised tool such as MyPaint or Krita (and most lkely for a good reason).

So what is the point that you are trying to make? ;)

Here was your original post.

If you want a simple Paint.NET-like tool for Linux, just use Pinta. Nobody's forcing you to use GIMP, you know ;) And Krita will probably not help you: it's a painting app now.


To me, it read like you first saying that "if you wanted a painting app use pinta" ... and then going on to say that "Krita would be no godd for you because it is only a painting app".

I thought ... WTF?

With your response now ... I have absolutely no idea what you actually intended to say. Regardless, you didn't manage to get your original message across, whatever it was.

He's saying "Pinta is like Paint.net"; to read in to this "Pinta is a painting program" you'd have to first establish that "Paint.net is a painting program" which is a matter for some debate, at least.

Because you didn't follow the thread. When taken out of context, anything can be understood completely wrong. Just follow the context the next time ;)
