Fork where you can draw a circle when?

never
being outraged on behalf of a hypothetical group people is far more important than actual features

no circle looks like b**bs so we wont do that to stay #POWERFULL

Why don’t we all just call it gnu image manipulation program

>fork
I'm triggered. Fork you.

someone should create a fork of GIMP called NIGGER

Post your less problematic name for GIMP

mine is
>Raster Art Creation Editor for Work And Recreation Not Optimized for Windows

this.

When are they going to rename git? It triggers me every time I use it!

whats nigger stand for? im thinking
>Neural

>is the name a barrier to adoption?
That's not it, no one with a job uses that program because it's shit.

>tfw spelt nigger wrong
Replace imaginattion with experimentation

>New Interactive GNU Graphics Editor Redesigned
How's this? We could change around the UI a bit so the "Redesigned" part of the name makes sense, unless someone has a better backronym.

>not green is my pepper
>2019
this is why linux will never succeed on the desktop

based

change "redesigned" to "reimagined" and i'm all for it
we should be forking Glimpse though, not GIMP
GIMP devs are somewhat based for not bowing to the PC police

Gimped Is My Program

I don't think I've ever seen anyone offended by the name. I've seen teachers recommend the software to students in lieu of buying/pirating photoshop, and no one so much as smirked at the name.
it's an absolute non-issue

Why not just IMP?

>tfw the graphics goblin resets your file associations again

Nobody but a couple of butt-hurt, trannies even care about this. Society will go on using GIMP and the fork will die in a matter of months. It's not like anything of value will be lost. These trannies can't code and won't add any of the useful features needed for a fork to succeed.

Good try Manson. Up to your old tricks I see

now we need an acronym for kys trannies

Is gimp supposed to be offensive to cripples or is it guys who wear full body latex suits to sex fetish clubs? I have a hard time believing that dudes who get used as human toilets would be offended by some software.

nobody uses GIMP

Do you guys remember when DONGLE caused a huge uproar, maybe even the first of its kind?

I've used GIMP extensively over the years.

>people that use gimp now
Retarded niche hobbyists.
>people that will use gimp if the name changes
Retarded niche hobbyists.

The delusion that it's a branding problem is simply ludicrous.

I know we're supposed to be too autistic to admit this, but GIMP was always a pretty terrible name. You can say whatever you want about the primary userbase but having a name associated with either being weak or being a faggot isn't the best thing for brand recognition. It's like having a drink called onions.

>New Interactive GNU Graphics Editor Reimagined
I really like this
We should definitely fork Glimpse instead of GIMP for maximum butthurt

Excuse me, but what you refer to as IMP is actually etc etc memememe

aka New Interactive GNU Graphics Application

Plez can we do this

Speaking as a gimp and self-proclaimed "human toilet," I'm offended by the SJW's who think my lifestyle is "offensive" and "problematic," it is kink-shaming to the nth degree. There is absolutely nothing fucking wrong with the word gimp or being one.

A harbinger of things to come.

Free Art and Graphics GNU Optimized Toolset

That's my proposal, it also has room for a GNU.

or Free Art and Graphics GNU Interactive Toolset

FAGGOT is much better, and easier to remember.

It should be called

GNU Acclaimed Yearly New Improved General Graphics Editing Resource Suite

or GAYNIGGERS for short.

Why not just Linux?

they actually did it. the mad cripples

it isnt like importante features were added before this

How dare you, I like drinking my soup with a fork. Don't talk to me or my wife's son ever again

that one had a happy ending at least

why are you retards still obsessed with the GIMP vs Photoshop coneolewar tier argument

hoe have you not heard of Photopea it's literally web based free Photoshop

so first thing they do is add an code of conduct huh

It's not like they actually know how to program.

No, the first thing they added was a donate button.

>not just IE, for image editor, GIE for Gnu.

Raster and Animated Picture Editor

Sounds like a nordic god of theft and plunder.

fuck off snowflake cuck

if i ran a software company, you'd get a job. great name.

Is this """project""" just going to steal commits from the main GIMP branch too?

Meanwhile, the needless abstractions, technicalities, and lack of proper documentation on the program itself keep piling up. Its almost like they're trying to make open source look bad.

The fork was apparently done because the old name caused unnecessary bikeshedding.

What about the KDE Image Kollection Editor?

Isn't it just a QT window with JPEG Editor Widget as its sole content?

GIMP Is My Pepper

I wish the worst possible fate upon GIMP. I hope fake outrage decimates this shit program. What the FUCK were they thinking when they made it.

Does GIMP's Bezier Curve tool not have a stroke function?

Nah, people have been using dongles since the 80s or 90s, when they were little hardware devices you plug into your parallel port that act as copy protection on some expensive commercial software. If you had multiple such programs installed you would have multiple of these infernal things chained onto each other. You could then plug your parallel CD drive into that, and your printer into that.

You can't create a circle with Bezier Curves.

Yeah. Draw path, stroke path. You can do this with any shape path. But to draw a circle you're better off with the circle select tool and then stroke selection.

I am somewhat concerned by the ongoing cultural sterilisation. I mean, speaking as someone who's been bullied, a lot, and has been hurt by words i still don't want this squeaky clean society.

I name it "unusable shit software"

How about making it competitive with Photoshop instead? I've waited over 20 years for the developers to make it good.

For me gimp is the name of a software and didn't even know it had any other meaning.

How about forking bitchx, brainfuck, pornview, fsck, finger, man. All open source software.

This. This. This.

i also heard about the software before any other definition
i've still not heard anybody actually say gimp in real life (except when referring to the software, though even that is very rare)
gimp as a slang word is pretty obscure
