with focus shifted towards completing the port to GTK3
Is that a typo? I would have thought most software was shifting to GTK4 now?
GTK4 is planned for 2050 (expect 5-6 year delay).
I don’t know what GTK means and couldn’t find it in the link. Care to share?
Gimp Tool Kit, where gimp means Gnu Image Manipulation Program, where gnu means Gnu’s Not Unix. So, in short, gnu’s not unix image manipulation program tool kit.
Never realised the G was GIMP… hilarious that its namesake software is lagging so far behind
Thanks!
going to be the party pooper here, but GTK means Gnu Tool Kit. It’s a framework to build gui applicatiion.
@bl4kers @allywilson Its a framework for GUI applications.
I mean, I did quote the partial sentence from the link. You can look that up.
Last time I used gimp was in the late 90s I think. I gather it’s pretty much the same as when I last tried…?
I’ve found Krita to be pretty good (though I can load slowly on slow machines).
No, it is not remotely the same.
They said 3.0 this year a few months back. I think you could have rebuilt GIMP on GTK4 in the same time it’s taken them to try and port the project up to GTK3.
I was hyped for it coming before the end of this year. Anyways its great the project isn’t dead
