GIMP 2.8 finally has single window mode

The GIMP is an image editor often compared to Photoshop and the like in scope and power. It's free, open source and cross platform.

One of the biggest complaints (especially from PS users) was GIMP's "lack" of a single window UI, favoring separate, free-floating dockable, pinnable elements instead. While single window mode is still not the default (select it under "windows" drop down on top bar) 2.8 DOES finally have it, and it works quite well. Other improvements have been made to this release including UI beautification, layer groups, speed enhancements, and more.

GREAT software!

FWIW there's a version over at portableapps.com -- I've had problems running the regular versions in Windows.

and I gave up in the end but will try portable one and the free-floating dockable fell off for me
