I-Glimpse yilokho igama elisha le-GIMP elizoba yilo futhi lokho kuza ukulungisa inkinga lolu hlelo olukhulu lokuhlela izithombe belulokhu lunalo. Uhlelo olubizwa nge-GIMP futhi lokho bekulokhu kunezincazelo zocansi, ngakho-ke manje sebenze umsebenzi wokushintsha igama unomphela.
Una ithuluzi lokuhlela elaziwa kahle, kodwa ukuthi igama lakhe belingathandwa njalo. Igama livela kwisichazamazwi sokukhohliswa kwesithombe se-GNU futhi bekulokhu kuyigama elisetshenziselwa izizathu ezahlukahlukene.
Abakwenzile imfoloko umhleli we-GIMP bese uyibiza Glimpse. Njengomuntu ongafuni le nto bese eqala ukunikeza impilo entsha kolunye lwezinhlelo okubaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni womklamo wezithombe.
Into ehlekisayo ngegama eliguqula into ukuthi ekugcineni kwakungu-bobby moss, umbhali wezobuchwepheshe be-Oracle onikeze leli gama ukuze manje siqale ukulibiza ngokuthi iGlimpse. Konke lokhu kuqhamuke kokuthunyelwe okuvulwe ngunjiniyela uChristopher Davis eGitlab okubizwa ngokuthi "Ukubheka udumo lweGIMP olungacasuli kangako."
Ukuthola lokho Izimpikiswano zikaDavis zokushintsha kwegama bebengaphezu kokuphikisana, uMoss uthathe isinqumo sokwakha imfoloko ngephrojekthi yeGlimpse. UMoss uchaza ukuthi i-Glimpse ayiphulukisi nje kuphela igama elibi, kepha futhi ibeka ukukhanya ekwakhiweni kabusha kabusha kwesixhumi esibonakalayo se-GIMP.
Ngakho-ke thina Silibangise esigabeni esisha nokuvela kwe-GIMP ukuba kube yiGlimpse ngaleyo ndlela ubeke eceleni yonke le minyaka lapho igama elithi "gimp" lingasetshenziswa kabi ngokumelene namanye amasiko. Khumbula ukuthi i-GIMP ne-Glimpse zikuwebhusayithi ehlukile nokuthi abathuthukisi be-Glimpse bazoqhubeka nokunikela kwikhodi ye-GIMP ngaphandle kokungqubuzana okuthile.
Ngabe kusho ukuthini i-GIMP ukucasula kwamanye amasiko?
