[Gimp-developer] no image open spec...

[Guillermo Espertino]

Oh... the "no gimmicks" thing.
Nevermind then...

Gez.

Anyway, I'd would like to know why common tasks wouldn't fit there 
(apart of the usual "it sucks").
"Create a new image", "open an existing image" and "open a recent file" 
are the first things people do with gimp. So why not?
I use drag and drop to open files, but I wouldn't put "new image" and 
"open recent" as secondary commands, available only via a menu. Those 
three actions share the same hierarchy, imo.

And finally... a "drag here" sign sounds as a gimmick too for me.
