Actually, you posted that to a user list, not the developer list. So there is nothing that says that response is associated with either the developers intent or behavior. They are, in fact, usually very open to feature requests though there are some they've heard many times already (like 16bit support, which is in development). For example, they've responded to requests for a single window mode from the Windows user community by adding it to development for 2.8. We Linux users don't need this so the developers are making this configurable. They do listen to users needs. That said, requests for feature enhancement belong in the bugzilla database which you can find linked from the http://developer.gimp.org/bugs.html. "Bugs" is a generic developer term and is meant to encompass problems in the system as well as feature requests. To prevent duplication you should do a few searches to make sure your request hasn't already been made before posting. When making feature requests it is important to be very clear what you need the feature to do. Your "batch processing" request, for example, isn't very clear. GIMP can already run in batch mode so you'd need to clarify what your interpretation of batch processing should be. -- Michael J.
