Discussion: GIMP in the default seed

Thu Jan 29 18:06:39 UTC 2015

I have an idea, why dont we keep GiMP as editor and gThumb as viewer, I
said it before, GiMP is pretty solid to run on the go while you use it
live. On the other hand you can include other editors "as available" to
show on-the-installation-screen.
