Hi Stefan,
I see your point about catering to Apple's need to be different, however
Linux and Vista have some dialog issues that I have had to work on too, so I
think we should do what we can given our resources.
About the potential confusion with multiple algorithms that accomplish the
same purpose, I think we need to work toward consolidating similar features
under common submenus or dialogs. We have some duplicate functionality
(like ISA vs JTS *Douglas*-*Puecker* point reduction) that I'm unsure what
the difference/advantages are of each are anymore.
I have misgivings about including the Text Block tool by default, as I
know a general release of it would lead to a lot of bug reports and feature
requests. I'm not particularly happy with it in its current form. What we
need is some kind of "incubation" option for default-plugins.xml inclusion
that would give you all of the experimental tools. Then I could support
including it.
regards,
Larry
