Job oriented Gimp (Photo Correction, Sketch / Drawing tablet, Picture Annotate)
Description of the feature
Add Job menu items with 5 menu items
- Disabled - default. Shows everything as it is.
- Photo Correction - view and available menu items (except Search Ctrl + /) shows limited menu items linked with photo correction staff.
- Sketch / Drawing Tablet - all major toolbar buttons that are used by drawing artists are larger and visible. Other functional is hidden
- Picture Annotate - mode for reporting bugs in software companies (paste Print Screen, trim all parts except importance, add texts, bubbles and arrows)
- Other ones (i'm far from other purposes)
- Create / Edit Layout... - Opens a UI (menu items, and toolbar buttons and visible panes editor with ability to Create/Edit jobs)
(Another option is to create separate Apps - Gimp Photo Correction, Git Painter etc...)
Add telemetry collection (anonymous, with user consent) regarding functional in each job person is using and his edits to default presets. So those default presets can be based upon usage statistics in next versions. Telemetry can be based on App Insights Microsoft technology.
Add Sign In through Google, Microsoft Single Sign On to Gimp application optional staff, so user presets (and probably other settings) can be synced across accounts. And it will open possibility to have synced plugins across accounts (which will open way to have paid versions of plugins for your fabulous app)
Use cases
I want to use Gimp for different purposes: edit pictures, do drawing with mouse, do drawing with tablet. But different tasks require different sets of tools to be visible.. Currently UI is packed / overloaded with features.
So if your layout is adaptive, i'd like to see different sets of prepacked layout: for painter, mouse-person, graphic tablet painter (and hide other features from menu, buttons, etc) so UI will be clean and task oriented. That will allow me to focus on the task. I.e. multitool Gimp can become job-focused.
PS. That is just an idea. I'm seeing other products are going this way, such as Corel. And it serves the purpose - to do some job done. PS. PS. Guys, I hope you will release Gimp with GTK 3 some day. Still waiting for working Russian shortcuts.
