functional splash screen /about Gimp dialog
Submitted by Jo
Link to original bug (#754516)
Description
after loading, the splash screen could expand into a dialog- OR -the About Gimp dialog could open after the splash screen with following options:
-create a new image -open (file chooser) -recent documents -add resources (brushes, palettes, gradients, patterns, paths, *.scm, *.py, new splash screen) (1) with tagging (2) automatically (3)
-online manual -check for updates (maybe) -contribute
…and back up automatically the preferences in Home/Library/Application Support/Gimp/2.8/ as zip/gz file
(1) paths:
- usual gimp preference file path in the home folder
- a custom, user defined directory
(2) adding a (existing/new/none) tag to move resources (e.g. brush) into: Gimp/2.8/brushes/tag/
(3) the suffix of each resource is unique, so we can file our resources quickly into the right folder/tag folder
