 Does Gimp have a animated Gif engine that allows you to spin, rotate, 
srink, grow, fade, picture elements? No.
 Does Gimp provide an interactive quality display of save-as functions? No.
 Does Gimp support YMC colour seperation and tiff format as required by 
most traditional print houses? No.
 Does Gimp provide image details & conversion options in its file menu? No.
 Does Gimp have a directory thumnail creation function? I don't think so.

 So there are five functions Gimp doesn't provide but which are availabe in 
a free Windows & OS/2 program. The app I'm comparing it to is very nice, 
but because the pro-Microsoft ISVs had a competitive (& inferior) product, 
all the computer magazine publishers kept deep sixing every advert for the 
product. Eventually the author had to give up - which was criminal because 
he was an excellent UI designer, coder, and just had wonderful ideas on 
what to do with a new graphics app.
 There simply is *no* "Linux" (Open Source) app that does what it does.
 But Wine is still buggy & offsets the window positions - and is doing 
something a bit strange in the menus.
 So I was just wondering if anyone knew of some other worthwhile apps that 
together might help fill some of the holes Gimp etc. leave.
