Re: [Gimp-developer] Search Action dialog feature

[Michael Henning <drawoc darkrefraction com>]

My version of what it is:

"Action Search (aka TITO) is valuable to gimp users because it
provides easy access to moderately used features of the gimp without
memorization of the gimp's menu layout or keyboard shortcuts."

Even experienced power users won't know (shouldn't be forced to
memorize) where *everything* is located. Now, they only need to know
the name.
