How good are you at programming?

OMG, that is nothing for me at all!

I've been coding a little bit but I'm not very fit at it

I'm pretty good at programming and would maybe be able to write a Plug-In for GIMP

I'm very good at programming and I would theoretically be able to hack for the GIMP core

    A bug in the font selection (scroll down menu) caused an immediate failure.

    Back up your work before selecting a font! Don't use the scroll down menu!

    You cannot change fonts with this new version. Reverting.

    its a general bug of most tool drop-down-boxes, not just a special thing of the font selection. a bug has been filed already :)

    to revert uninstall gimp 2.6.9 and download 2.6.8 here:

    A correction that some feel is a bug is the Histogram range operator. Now the range is 0 to 255 (use to actually use 256, but not anymore). Has crashed a few Script-fus that I use, but the fix isn't hard. Posted the issue at the Registry. :)
