Replying to Gimp Users

I also noticed this behaviour. It's quite comfortable if you have a small display device, it's quite ennoying if you want to switch back to gimp from another window. I remember that you can close this tool window, which could be a workaround. However, before doing that, you should find how to make the window come back!

haha very annoying sometimes when you're so use to working on a program with just one window.. and with graphics one would prefer the window maximized....

i think Gimp devs should use tabs instead of separate windows or just have an option where on can either attach the tool/layer windows to the main windows (and work like Photoshop) or float them like default, but tabs would be another alternative

i guess the Gimp devs just wanted Gimp to be a bit different from Photoshop

does anyone here uses Gimp?
i wanna set my gimp so the layers and tool box is attached to the main window... at the moment they are floating on the side as separate windows which is quite annoying when shifting from window to window if i wanna select stuff...
