Gimpshop: The Plan

4/25/2006

Here’s all the stuff I’m planning for the next release of Gimpshop. A to-do list that I’ll try to stick to:

  • A Universal Binary for OS X so that Gimpshop runs natively on PowerPC and Intel architecture. This should be available within a week or two.
  • Translatable source code so that Gimpshop can be translated into any language by anyone who has the patience, time and language skills to do it. This is a high priority and I’ll do my best to make it happen.
  • More plug-ins and filters to match Photoshop’s pre-installed filters and Photoshop’s filter structure/naming conventions as closely as possible. In the coming weeks, I’ll be testing the best alternatives so that only the best and most relevant filters are in there. There will be a separate menu area for gimp-specific filters.
  • A simultaneous Windows XP Gimpshop release, providing that I can figure out how to build it on my own. I’ll be building the installer using a new Intel-based Mac purchased with your generous donations. I shudder to think that I’ll be running XP on it, but it’s not my Mac – It’s YOUR Mac and it’s almost here!

I’ll keep you posted. Suggestions are welcome!
